Clinical sport psychology is a rapidly growing field that brings
together research and clinical interventions from both clinical
psychology and sport and performance psychology. Complementary to
sports medicine and clinical sport psychiatry, clinical sport
psychology addresses the mental health needs and psychological
well-being of athletes, coaches, and other members of the sport
community. It offers scientifically informed conceptualizations of
psychological distress as it manifests in sport settings, as well
as empirically supported clinical interventions tailored to the
needs of sport populations. This volume addresses the latest
research findings regarding mental health among athletes and other
sport professionals, including epidemiological research concerning
depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and conduct and
interpersonal problems. In addition, it explores the unique
etiology of mental health problems among athletes, including
psychological sequelae of injury and trauma, as well as concise
practice guidelines for conceptualizing and treating psychological
distress in sport populations. Strategies for thorough yet
efficient psychological assessment of athletes, coaches, and other
sport professionals are also provided. A compendium of relevant
empirical research and clinical best practices for assessment and
treatment, this handbook charts the course that clinical sport
psychology has taken since its inception as a distinct clinical
specialty and highlights future directions for this rapidly growing
practice domain. It offers essential reading for psychologists and
other mental health professionals who provide clinical services in
sport and performance settings.
