BPS Core Textbooks in Psychology
Our flagship textbook programme which includes authored, co-authored or edited volumes on all core topics in Psychology for course adoptions at undergraduate level.
BPS Key Topics in Psychology
A series of short books that focus on a specific field within Psychology. The books provide an accessible look at the subject matter by breaking the topics down into key concepts within the field, discussing the history, impact and future directions of the most important areas. The overall aim of these books is to provide undergraduate students with a simple overview of core psychology topics, breaking down information into bitesize chunks.
BPS Foundations and Futures of Psychology: Global Perspectives
The series offers cutting-edge, global perspectives on high profile topics that are of immediate concern to upper-level students, researchers and the field of psychology more broadly. Edited by an eminent scholar along with an early career academic, each volume also serves as a springboard for upcoming scholars. Each title focusses on a key topic, reviewing where the field has been and providing discursive debate of the latest research and practice. This cutting-edge insight will encourage critical understanding of - and reflection on - the events that shape contemporary approaches and future directions in psychology. As the series subtitle suggests, the volumes will focus on an international range of perspectives.
BPS Pathways in Psychology
A series of professional books designed to support individuals looking to begin careers in or using psychology. It will support both formal professional training programmes (e.g., in Clinical, Child/Educational, Forensic, Health, Neuropsychology, Coaching) as well as those looking to use psychology in their careers, but who perhaps wouldn’t consider themselves ‘psychologists’.
BPS Professional Practice and Development
A series of books designed to support continuing professional development by addressing topics and challenges faced by psychologists in their research and practice. Books include case studies and real-life examples in relevant contexts. Each book strikes a careful balance between research and practical strategies, as well as resources for implementation and opportunities for reflection.
BPS Ask the Experts in Psychology
Our popular science series of short engaging self-help books aimed at the general reader, addressing a key issue and the burning questions that people have. Each volume is written by a psychological expert in the field, grounded in research with a solid evidence-base, but the science is translated into highly accessible content. The overall aim of these books is to provide general readers with authoritative and straightforward guidance on topics that concern them, or which matter to everyday life.
