California School of Organizational Studies Handbook of Organizational Consulting Psychology A Comprehensive Guide to Theory, Skills, and Techniques

The Definitive Handbook for Organizational Consulting Psychology "This is the first book to provide an overview of the broad range of services that consulting psychologists provide to individuals, teams, and systems. In addition, it provides insight into specialty areas such as international consulting and the ethical issues confronted when doing this work. One of its major contributions is its emphasis on ways to assess the impact and effectiveness of various consulting interventions. It will be a useful tool for senior practitioners as well as to those who hope to enter the field." - Judith S. Blanton, senior consultant and director of professional affairs, RHR International "The Handbook of Consulting Psychology provides information that is both comprehensive and cutting edge. The content provides helpful insights for those beginning their career in the field as well as those who have been consulting for years." - Steve Gravenkemper, vice president, organizational consulting, Right Management Consultants "This book would be an invaluable addition to the professional library of any psychologist or student of psychology who is involved with organizational consultation. The handbook is a most impressive and scientifically sound text. I cannot praise it highly enough." - Florence L. Denmark, Robert Scott Pace Distinguished Professor emerita, Psychology Department, Pace University "Far from being yet another book in consulting psychology, The Handbook of Organizational Consulting Psychology marks the coming of age of consulting psychology as a field. The contributors systematically offer both breadth and depth to the actual workings of consulting psychology. The book is to be recommended not only as a 'state-of-the-art' document, but also as evidence of the fruition of the field. It is an historic marker of the distinctiveness of consulting psychology, a kind of 'declaration of independence' for the discipline. It deserves to be a classic." - Howard F.
