"Published with the British Psychological Society, this readable and practical text will surely form the standard introduction to this maturing field. It covers training models, research (including design and even writing grant applications), consultancy and interventions, training and teaching, and professional roles and practice." (The Scientific and Medical Network Review)"Much of the material has a value for health professionals other than just psychologists, such as the chapters on planning research projects, analysing and reporting data in health research, designing and conducting qualitative studies, carrying out systematic reviews, and writing for publication."
