| Description | | - Uses the real world situations, or 'rooms' as the determining factor in defining the role of the psychologist, so the student can see the psychologist's input into real situations
- A series of scenarios within each chapter provide students with real examples of psychology in practice, showing the relevance of their study to the application of psychology in a professional context
- Each chapter gives an overview of the key theoretical concepts which are being applied in the following scenarios, making the link between theory and practice crystal clear

For many students, the lecture hall or seminar room may seem vastly removed from the reality of everyday life. Applied Psychology: Putting Theory into Practice
demystifies the link between the study of psychology, and psychology in the real world, illustrating how the application of psychology can be of benefit in many everyday settings.
The book is structured as a series of themed
'rooms' which the reader is encouraged to explore, with each room examining a real world situation in which the psychologist has an important impact. These include the Work Room
, the War Room
, and the Sport Room
.
Each room contains an overview of the key psychological concepts which are applied in each situation, before leading the reader through a number of scenarios - case
studies which present the concepts in an applied context, and show how the psychologist's expertise is drawn upon, and what effect their input can have.
Applied Psychology: Putting Theory into Practice
is an invaluable resource for all students of psychology, showing just how psychology extends beyond the lecture hall to have a vital impact on our everyday lives.

Readership: Ideal for first year undergraduates on psychology/applied psychology courses, and as a primer for graduate students embarking on a graduate conversion course.
