An Introduction to Consulting Psychology: Working With Individuals, Groups, and Organizations (Fundamentals of Consulting Psychology Series) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Rodney L. Lowman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 33 ratings
See all formats and editions
This book provides a broad introduction to consulting psychology that reviews assessment and intervention at three levels of competency—individual, group, and organizational—including how these levels interact.

Consulting psychology is a burgeoning yet sometimes underappreciated discipline whose goal is to empower clients and improve workplace functioning. In this book, Dr. Lowman describes this fulfilling and important work, translating theory and research into a succinct and accessible overview that will familiarize students, psychologists from multiple disciplines, and others with the field.

Lowman reviews how consultation helps clients at three levels—individual, group, and organizational. Using illustrative case examples, he samples issues that can arise at each level and describes appropriate tools for assessment and intervention.

The various consulting activities surveyed include:
  • screening potential job candidates;
  • coaching individuals to help them adapt to new roles and manage relationships with colleagues;
  • evaluating and improving work group dynamics, such as communication patterns; and
  • working with different organizational cultures to enhance system-wide processes and structures.
Leadership is given special focus as a complex topic that spans all three levels and requires the consultant to consider a host of variables. Multiculturalism and internationalism are also examined as competencies that consulting psychologists must possess in our increasingly globalized society.

Lowman also considers important professional standards and guidelines for consulting psychologists, including the APA Ethics Code.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    This was the first book I found specifically on being a consultant psychologist, a field I have just started a new path in and know little about. I have enjoyed reading such a complex area, but the book breaks it down into bite size chunks that make sense. I opted for the Kindle version as I could quickly highlight and bookmark chapters I will come back to.
