Advanced Applied Psychology (Paperback)  | Released: 2004

Advanced Applied Psychology is the most important branch of Psychology encompassing applications of psychological knowledge in all areas of psychology. Though several books are available on Applied Psychology, there is hardly any book covering the entire spectrum of psychology applied to various areas of life. This book entitled Advanced Applied Psychology has been designed to fill up this gap. Published in two volumes, Volume I deals with Psychology Applied to Education, Human Development and Psychological Disorders, while Volume II covers Psychology Applied to Crime, Society and Industry. Within the scope of these two volumes the book covers the courses of all the Indian Universities for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Psychology. Written in simple language, with examples drawn from Indian life, presenting authentic material with latest data and explaining the subject matter through central, side and running headings, this book is a must on the desk of every teacher and student of psychology. The book will also be a major source of information for professional practitioners and researchers in the domain of psychology.Table of Contents: PART I General Principles 1. Introduction; 2.
