Resumen

  • This book features a series of interviews with leading psychologists, mostly clinicians, about the major current challenges and perspectives of Clinical Psychology worldwide. Among the interviewees in this book are many of today's most prominent figures in Psychology, including Alan E. Kazdin, Antonio E. Puente, Michael W. Eysenck, Suzanne Bennett Johnson, Stephen N. Haynes, Amanda Clinton, G. Reed, Carlos P. Zalaquett, John C. Nor-cross, Merry Bullock, Oscar F. Gonçalves, and Nadine J. Kaslow, among others. Coming from many different countries (e.g. the United States of America, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Portugal, Russia, Kuwait, and the Netherlands). The interviews touch on ideas, concerns, challenges, and the potential of Clinical and Health Psychology from a global perspective, as well as Psychology’s integration into society, relationships among professionals, the health systems across countries, and the recognition that psychologists receive as health professionals. It is important to bear in mind that the field of Psychology that attracts the most psychologists and peaks the greatest interest from students, professionals, and society, is Clinical Psychology. This book analyzes and discusses in detail topics such as the training of psychologists, perspectives in health, the effectiveness of evidence-based therapies, neuropsychology, functional analysis of behavior, "mini-brains", the use of information technology and the Internet, phobias, problems of childhood and adolescence, classifications of psychopathological disorders (DSM-5, ICD-11), catastrophes, corruption, sleep disorders, eating disorder, and many others. Psychology’s role in understanding and solving the problems associated with Covid-19 could not be left out, of course, due to its relevance at this time.
