In 2014 the Children and Families Act extended the protection of educational services to include people up to age 25, so since then educational psychologists have worked in post-16 establishments as well as schools. This book presents case studies that illuminate how psychology is applied to enhancing the lives of adolescents and young adults as they grapple with, for example, the ethics of consent, and the management of transitions to adulthood and independent living. It gives a voice to vulnerable students whose aspirations and hopes differ entirely from those of younger children.
Commissioned and compiled by members of the British Psychological Society's Division of Educational and Child Psychology, this timely collection is invaluable for educational psychologists and will interest parents, young people, social workers, teachers, lecturers and administrators in further and higher education.
"Applied psychology with young adults has long been a comparatively neglected field. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone wishing to gain greater understanding of the contributions that educational psychologists can make to work in this area."
Julian Elliott, Professor of Educational Psychology, Durham University
"The editors describe this volume as an 'introductory foray'. In my view it goes much further. The editors and contributors should be congratulated for combining research and theory with practical strategies and case studies, whilst always keeping young people at the heart of the matter."
Liz Robinson, Principal Educational Psychologist, Portsmouth City Council
"An essential text for every EP Service and a must-read for all those working with the 16-25 year population. A highly recommended book."
