Associate dean and professor emeritus co-edit new book on social psychology and counseling
A new book co-edited by Ed Delgado-Romero, associate dean for faculty and staff services and professor in the Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, explores how counseling psychology has evolved in the last century.
Published last month, “Social Psychology and Counseling: Issues and Application” provides innovative approaches to the social psychological underpinnings of professional mental health services.
“I think the book represents the intersection between social psychology and counseling,” Delgado-Romero said. “There are many exciting overlapping areas where current and former students melded the two fields together according to their interests.”
Douglas Kleiber, professor emeritus in the Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, helped co-edit the book, which is filled with contemporary interpretations of both research and practice by early career professional counselors.
