Discover the first book on employment opportunities in community
psychology Employment in Community Psychology: The Diversity of
Opportunity is the first psychology career reference book for
undergraduate psychology majors deciding on graduate schools, for
graduate students in psychology seeking employment, and for
psychology faculty advising their students. This book answers the
questions "What can you do with a graduate degree in community
psychology?" and "Who employs community psychologists?" Employment
in Community Psychology addresses these questions through examples
of graduates educated in community psychology and employed in
diverse applied, research, and academic settings. In Employment in
Community Psychology, you will explore the diversity of community
psychology employment opportunities through the stories of current
graduate students, community psychologists on their first job, and
psychologists who have well-established positions in community
research and action. Each experience is told in a story-telling
style allowing the reader to grasp a deeper understanding of the
employment opportunities that cannot be obtained through abstract
description alone. Some of the experiences that highlight
opportunities in the field include: working in the Institute for
