Each chapter includes material that is problem-centred and illustrates how psychologists draw on different knowledge bases, perspectives and methods for understanding and investigating complex problems. This book provides an insight into the diverse areas of applied psychology, including clinical, health, forensic and occupational psychology.This book, Applying Psychology, was originally part of the Open University course DSE212 Exploring Psychology. In order to use the book as part of DSE232 Applying Psychology, amendments have been made to the text, including an alteration to the order of the chapters. A new introduction and epilogue have also been written.
