Psychologists receive several years of specialized study on the brain, behavior, and mental health, but despite
the fact that over half ultimately end up in administrative or managerial roles, they receive no formalized training
in the skills necessary to be successful in these roles. This book is the first of its kind to target the managerial
and administrative skills necessary for the mental health professional. The book discusses practical information
such as how to deal with personnel issues, how to set budgets and allocate resources, and how to document progress
and maintain schedules in the domains of private practice, hospitals, government agencies, and universities. Chapter
authors are well-known and successful psychologists within these settings and include Raymond Fowler, past president
of the American Psychological Association.
