• Professor John Rust, Director, The Psychometrics Centre, University of Cambridge

“This applied psychology text by Prof. Davey is outstanding, highlighting the main fields of clinical, health, forensic, educational, occupational and sports psychology. He provides the reader with the most up-to-date research, theories and practice in these applied occupations. This is a must read for anyone wanting to pursue a career in any of these areas, you will enjoy it and you will learn a great deal from it.”

• Prof. Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Distinguished Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School

“This text affords students with a thorough overview of psychology in practice. The material on sport and exercise psychology was excellent and I feel sure that my students would gain immensely from being able to draw a direct comparison between how psychology is practised in our discipline and others. In particular, the information on accreditation and regulatory bodies is key for students wishing to forge a career in psychology; the text is an invaluable aid in this regard.”

• Costas Karageorghis, PhD, CPsychol, FBASES Reader in Sport Psychology, Deputy Head (Research) School of Sport and Education Brunel University

"This is a valuable book for those studying applied psychology.  The coverage of professional roles, how psychological concepts permeate practise, and its overall breadth and skillful blend of evidence, theory and professional issues make it a front runner."
