SpringerBriefs in Theoretical Advances in Psychology will be an extension from the currently renovated Annals of Theoretical Psychology in the direction of bringing short, single (or multiple) authored theoretical advancements across all areas of psychology to the international audience. The focus is on the development of innovative theoretical approaches and their discussion. The Series will have a clearly defined international and interdisciplinary focus—even if it remains within the discipline of psychology. Featuring compact volumes of 100–115 pages, each Brief in the Series is meant to provide a clear, visible, and multi-sided recognition of the theoretical efforts of scholars around the world. It is targeted to researchers, graduate students, and professionals in Post-BA level psychology, education, anthropology, and sociology. Briefs are published as part of the Springer’s eBook collection, with millions of users worldwide. In addition, Briefs are available for individual print and electronic purchase.
