Review
"Johnson and Kaslow are noted scholars with a multitude of contributions to professional psychology, and once again they have enhanced the field with The Oxford Handbook of Education and Training in Professional Psychology. This volume brings together similarly recognized scholars and commentators in the training and education community to provide foundational and advanced information for all involved in professional development. This is truly a tour de force in competency-based education for professional psychology. A more comprehensive work likely cannot be envisioned; this handbook presents wide-ranging coverage on the essential elements of the evidence-based field of practice, research, education, and professionalism. The preparation of the next generation of professionals in health service psychology will benefit from this invaluable resource."-Michael C. Roberts, Ph.D., ABPP, Clinical Child Psychology Program, University of Kansas "This Handbook will do double-duty as both an essential policy and practice resource for psychology supervisors and educators and an important starting point for graduate students and others who are beginning to explore this as an area of scholarship. It reflects Johnson and Kaslow's extensive knowledge professional psychology's education and training terrain, which is evident in the choices they made about material to cover as well in the level of expertise of the people they enlisted as authors."-Rodney K.

It weaves together a wide range of current and relevant topics in psychology, from rigorous trainee selection through the effective use of telehealth to benefit more mental health consumers. We suggest that educators and mentors in psychology incorporate the ideas from this book into their practice, while simultaneously meeting the critical need for policy expertise by helping students become skilled leaders in public health policy. Only by embracing the call to engage in health policy can psychology thrive in this new era of ACA healthcare." -- PsycCRITIQUES
