Routledge, in partnership with the British Psychological Society (BPS), is pleased to present BPS Ask the Experts, a new popular science series that addresses key issues and answers the burning questions. Drawing on the expertise of established psychologists, every book in the series provides authoritative and straightforward guidance on pressing topics that matter to real people in their everyday lives.
Each book begins by outlining the author’s background and credentials, clearly explaining why they are positioned to provide expert answers to our most important questions, before adopting a unique Question and Answer chapter approach. Positioning each question as a distinct chapter allows the experts to provide evidence-based answers in an accessible and user-friendly way, and will also include further reading and a glossary of scientific terms for anyone wanting more information on specific parts of their answers.
All books in the BPS Ask the Experts series are written for the reader with no prior knowledge or experience. For answers to everything you ever wanted to know about issues important to you, ask the expert!
