Psychology majors often have difficulty transitioning from being a
college student to a working psychology graduate. "Introduction to
Academic and Career Opportunities in Psychology" is designed to
help psychology majors plan for careers after graduation, before
they graduate.
Developed by several psychology instructors, this title offers
students multiple perspectives on:
- Psychology-related careers.
- How degrees shape career opportunities.
- Developing a strong network of colleagues.
- Prevailing myths about majoring in psychology.
This collection of readings, articles, and resources places a
special emphasis on multicultural issues in the psychology
workforce. "Introduction to Academic and Career Opportunities in
Psychology" is an essential guide for any psychology major
preparing for life during and after their degree.

Most books about field work in psychological services are designed
for graduate-level formal internships and are focused on assessing
and diagnosing clients, writing case notes, understanding
documentation policies, completing formal training requirements,
reviewing theories of psychotherapy, and interacting with a
clinical supervisor. In contrast, Helping You Help Others: A Guide
to Field Work in Psychological Services is appropriate for anyone
in an exploration phase and interested in volunteering in the
psychological and human services fields. The book is designed for
those seeking to gain exposure to agencies, obtain experience with
various populations, learn about the helping profession, and become
familiar with a multitude of systems focused on assisting people in
need. This collection highlights skills required for being
successful as a volunteer, reviews important cultural competency
considerations, addresses special issues in the field, provides
information about different populations served, and offers methods
for preventing volunteer burn-out. It prepares volunteers for their
experiences and encourages them to develop professionally, as well
as personally. The readings provide an opportunity to apply the
information to a volunteer site, the class activities create an
interactive learning experience, and the homework assignments
encourage personal reflection and professional growth. Helping You
Help Others: A Guide to Field Work in Psychological Services is
designed for lower and upper division psychology field placement or
practicum classes. It can be used in undergraduate programs at both
community colleges and universities.
