Routledge Studies in Leadership, Work and Organizational Psychology LEADERSHIP AND DIVERSITY IN PSYCHOLOGY MOVING BEYOND THE LIMITS Edited by Maureen McIntosh, Helen Nicholas and Afreen Husain Huq Leadership and Diversity in Psychology Leadership and Diversity in Psychology explores the topic of leadership and diversity from a range of different perspectives. The authors draw from pro- fessional experience and research to support their reflections on leadership with diverse populations, leadership in organizations and developing lead- ership style. Incorporating current theory and up-to-date research concerning current trends towards more relational and integrative work, the book emphasises practitioners’ reflections of their own experience. It reflects the contempo- rary focus towards more pluralistic/integrative practice, which has moved away from traditional orientations involving specific ways of working. Leadership and Diversity in Psychology will be of great interest to academ- ics and researchers in the fields of clinical and counselling psychology and organizational psychology as well as professional practitioners.
