1. This will be the only current careers book which focuses on helping UK psychology students. 2. Book is split in two. The first part focuses on how to find and get the job that's right for you (chpt 1-4), and the remaining chapters look at progress/success at work - personal growth, navigating criticism, workplace relations, etc. While the first is UK-focused, the second half would be useful for a wider, international audience. 3. Lots of resources to support students' individual development and to help academics run workshops. This will include lesson plans and case studies and tool kits which include self-diagnostic tools and strengths finders, networking skill development, job search strategies, difficult interview questions, managing your money, personal branding etc. These tools will be organised to target students at each year of their development.

Key Thinkers in Individual Differences introduces the life, work and thought of 25 of the most influential figures who have shaped and developed the measurement of intelligence and personality. Expanding on from a resume of academic events, this book makes sense of these psychologists by bringing together not only their ideas but the social experiences, loves and losses that moulded them. By adapting a chronological approach, Forsythe presents the history and context behind these thinkers, ranging from the buffoonery and sheer genius of Charles Galton, the theatre of Hans Eysenck and John Phillipe Rushton, to the much-maligned and overlooked work of women such as Isabel Myers, Katherine Briggs and Karen Horney. Exploring all through a phenomenological lens, the background, interconnections, controversies and conversations of these thinkers are uncovered. This informative guide is essential reading to anyone who studies, works in or is simply captivated by the field of individual differences, personality and intelligence. An invaluable resource for all students of individual differences and the history of psychology.
