BPS Pathways in Psychology Series
About the Book Series
Routledge, in partnership with the British Psychological Society (BPS), is pleased to present BPS Pathways in Psychology, a new generation of informative books designed to support individuals looking to begin careers in or using psychology. Divided into two streams, the series offers titles both for those looking to follow a more traditional career route, or those who wish to understand how their psychology degree can inform their career outside a chartered role.
Making it clear that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach to a career in or using psychology, each book is supported by case studies that highlight diversity of voice and progression routes, anecdotal guidance on avoiding pitfalls, and further reading and resources.
These early career “bookshelf essential” texts provide accessible, evidence-based, practice-oriented guides for students and professionals.
