Produktbeschreibung
Each year several thousand students receive a doctoral degree in psychology. Most graduates are likely to be confronted by such questions as "Must I complete a postdoctoral placement?", "Should I establish a private practice?", "Will I be able to pursue both my teaching and research interests?", "What steps must I take to get licensed?", and "At what type of institution do I want to work?" Without proper preparation to deal with these and other issues, the resulting frustration and anxiety are not surprising. Your Career in Psychology helps answer these and other critical questions posed by most graduates in psychology. A carefully selected cadre of authors -- all authorities in their respective areas -- directly addresses the major issues confronting recent doctoral graduates. Yet, having a doctoral degree in hand is not necessary in order to benefit from this book. The breadth of the content is relevant to a diverse array of students, aspiring professionals, and their advisors, at all educational levels and in both applied (e.g., clinical, counseling, and forensic) and nonapplied areas.

"Your Career in Psychology is the kind of book many, ifnot most, psychologists, whether teachers, researchers, orpractitioners, might have wished for when they were setting out.The editors, experienced psychologists themselves, have assembled awonderfully diverse group of authors who provide honest, witty, andpractical advice to readers contemplating new careers or careerchanges within the field. They discuss the obvious topics, liketeaching roles, private practice, and job finding; and they take onthe less pleasant prospects, such as what to do about studentloans. From working effectively with mentors to being a good campuscitizen, there is something here for anyone serious aboutpsychology as a career field. The advice and counsel comes frompsychologists whose wide-ranging experience will prove useful, notonly to those seeking or changing careers, but to those of usengaged in teaching the next generation. This is an excellentcollection of interesting, successful authors who have 'beenthere and done that.' Readers will find a wealth of usefulideas and pointers."
