Volume 2, focusing on applications and training, includes chapters covering historical and professional perspectives; stress, adjustment, and positive psychology; diagnosis and assessment; psychopathology; clinical interventions; applied and preventive psychology; and training and supervision. Beyond providing a solid historical context, the handbook offers an up-to-date review across the major domains of psychology from a multicultural perspective."--Publisher's description.
