Careers in Psychology

Richard D. Parsons

Careers in Psychology: Opportunities for Research and Practice reveals the nearly limitless professional paths and prospects available to those who study psychology. Readers learn how those with knowledge in the field can find themselves engaged in the laboratory study of animal behaviors, in a research facility engaged with brain imaging, working with clients in private practice, working in hospitals, schools, sales and marketing companies, and government agencies, to name just a few opportunities. The book demonstrates the depth and breadth of the discipline and helps readers determine ways to tap into their innate strengths and nourish their professional growth.

Part I of the textbook includes chapters that introduce the history of psychology and the expanse of roles and functions served by psychologists in modern society. In Part II, chapters review specific areas of applied psychology, including psychologists in mental health services, in schools, psychology and the law, sport psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, and neuropsychology. Part III emphasizes careers within the various areas of psychological research. The final part helps students better understand the process of career decision-making and underscores the importance of knowing themselves, the types of experiences that are nurturing, and prioritizing self-care throughout their career development journey.

Developed to help readers understand the vast possibilities in the field, Careers in Psychology is an ideal resource for students of psychology at all levels.
