This title looks at recent sport psychology literature by presenting this material within a framework which will be immediately recognizable to students of psychology and which should thereby bring the world of sport psychology closer to the heart of psychology. To achieve this the book is structured around key subject areas within psychology. Chapters are devoted to separate sub-disciplines, including clinical, social, cognitive, developmental and occupational psychology as well as personality, motor skills and psychophysiology. Each chapter presents a concise review of contemporary sports research and shows how this work sits alongside developments across the subdisciplines as a whole, with suggestions and speculations for the future.
