RESUMO: Contemporary sport psychology is a rapidly developing and theoretically rich discipline, and a sophisticated and challenging profession. The
Routledge International Handbook of Sport Psychology offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide to contemporary sport psychology in all
its aspects. Written by a team of world-leading researchers and practitioners from five continents, including both established scholars and the best
emerging talents, the book traces the contours of the discipline of sport psychology, introducing fundamental theory, discussing key issues in
applied practice, and exploring the most important themes, topics and debates across the sport psychology curriculum.
Uniquely, the book presents comparative studies of the history and contemporary practice of sport psychology in ten countries, including the US,
UK, China, Japan, Brazil, Russia and Israel, helping the reader to understand the cultural and contextual factors that shape international practice in
sport psychology. As well as covering in depth the core pillars of sport psychology, from motivation and cognition to group dynamics, the book
also includes a full section on cultural sport psychology, a vital but under-explored sub-discipline that is having a profound influence on
contemporary theory and practice.
