Reviews

?. . . the handbook is invaluable for psychologists and other mental health professionals seeking an international perspective and/or planning to visit colleagues abroad. It is a resource worth having close at hand.?-The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

?There is a definite need for this volume. As English-language research literature and a Western orientation seem to pervade and dominate the discipline, Gilgen and Gilgen and their contributors remind us that valuable contributions to and traditions in psychology are flourishing worldwide. After an introduction placing the history and development of psychology in an international context, thirty chapters discuss the discipline in twenty-nine countries and one region (black Africa). Chapters are well written and consistent in format, each discussing the development of psychology as a profession, major influences (internal and external) on its evolution, orientation and relative importance of its subareas, education and training of psychologists, research institutes, and major publications. There are name and subject indexes. International Handbook of Psychology will be an asset to any academic psychology collection.?-ARBA
