Summary

"Psychologists are increasingly sought by the media for insights into national events and social issues and for guidance in dealing with psychological disorders and common interpersonal problems. This opportunity offers psychologists a credible, far-reaching, and inexpensive way to educate millions of Americans about psychological findings and knowledge. The challenge is to do this in an ethically and professionally responsible manner while still being responsive to unique pressures under which the media representatives operate. This volume provides practical guidance in doing just that in working with print, radio, and television media."--Jacket.
