This is the authoritative guide for current and future psychologists around the world who are or want to be engaged in international efforts and opportunities and meet pressing global needs.

Psychologists are increasingly applying their knowledge, skills, and values to big picture issues such as sustainability, human rights, conflict resolution, global education, and religious and cultural understanding. However, education, training, and professional development often overlook "thinking and acting globally" as a vital component of the professional identities of psychologists.

With decades of international experience as scholars, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and consultants, contributors to this book describe exemplary programs, relevant trends, and dynamic possibilities for global engagement. They focus specifically on nine key areas of expertise through which psychologists can make a difference:

advocacy,
assessment,
consultation,
intervention,
leadership,
policy,
research,
service,
teaching

Chapters also highlight opportunities for international and interdisciplinary collaboration while empowering indigenous voices and psychologies.

Industry Reviews

American psychologists have woken up to the fact that they cannot acquire a comprehensive and even legitimate understanding of people, both individually and in groups, unless they go global. Seeking global understanding is not only essential to successful research, teaching, therapy, counseling, and consulting, it is also the key to combating fear of foreigners, xenophobia, and even hate. This book provides penetrating, invaluable insights from diverse and distinguished world experts as to why we all need to go global---not only to enhance our own understanding but also to serve the world in the way psychologists should, and indeed, must, in the 21st century.
--Robert J. Sternberg, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, College of Human Ecology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, United States; Honorary Professor of Psychology, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany
This book is a great read for any educator, clinician, policy maker, and advocate interested in international psychology. It consolidates all themes that constitute the cornerstone of global psychology in the 21st century.
