Other world views and cultural contexts have, as yet, not had the same opportunity to develop scientific insights that come to the attention of global audiences. \u003cem\u003ePsychology Education and Training\u003c\/em\u003e is the first truly international effort to generate a framework for common standards in psychological education and training across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePsychologists have long studied human beings in their socio-cultural context. New challenges such as globalisation and the relationship of the brain and behavior require that education and training keep pace with these rapidly evolving developments. The chapters in this book were generated by an international conference which resulted in the Dornburg Accord. While anchored in higher education, the focus is on the generative and translational psychological science needed to fulfill psychology's responsibility to society.\u003cem\u003e Psychology Education and Training\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book of its kind to cover both historic strengths and the requirements of emerging fields. The book deals with balancing the universalities and cultural specificities of psychological processes, the adjustments to academic curricula required to support national needs, as well as the credentials and regulations required to assure the quality of psychological services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychology Education and Training is unique in providing initial data and concurrent assessment of various components of education and training in psychology across the globe. The book is a must for faculty members, advanced students of psychology and policy-makers who are interested in the issues that shape their societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rainer Silbereisen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184872151X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848721517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Rainer Silbereisen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623322464511,"sku":"9781848721517","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psychology-education-and-training-rainer-silbereisen-9781848721517","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
