Psychology is to this millenium what theology was to the previous millenium as an engine of change. The fields of psychology are going through rapid and radical changes to match the changing society in which psychology is applied. While there is some confusion and disagreement about the direction of that paradigm shift, there is almost universal agreement that profound changes are taking place in the field of psychology. The books in this series have been selected to help chart the progress of psychology as a discipline going through these changes. The emphasis in this series is on applications of psychology to particular social problems. Some of the social problems addressed in the series have included moral development, ethical thinking, apartheid, hostage trauma, culturally competent family therapy, self-representation, and what therapists learn from patients.
