The handbook is a most impressive and scientifically sound text. I cannot praise it highly enough." -- Florence L. Denmark, Robert Scott Pace Distinguished Professor emerita, Psychology Department, Pace University "Far from being yet another book in consulting psychology, The Handbook of Organizational Consulting Psychology marks the coming of age of consulting psychology as a field. The contributors systematically offer both breadth and depth to the actual workings of consulting psychology. The book is to be recommended not only as a 'state-of-the-art' document, but also as evidence of the fruition of the field. It is an historic marker of the distinctiveness of consulting psychology, a kind of 'declaration of independence' for the discipline. It deserves to be a classic." -- Howard F. Stein, professor, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City

Bradt, consulting psychologist andpast president, Society of Consulting Psychology, AmericanPsychological Association…mehr
