Relations between Environmental Psychology and Allied Fields

Abstract

The evolution of environmental psychology is examined through research aimed at extending the explanatory range and research applications of the holistic developmental systems-oriented perspective. From this series of artides it is evident that environmental psychology, particularly with a constructivist orientation, has much to offer to address critical problems of the discipline as a whole and of subdisciplines such as social, developmental, organizational, health, and educational psychology. The articles in this special issue are reviewed with particular attention to their applied and theoretical psychology. These articles document the potential of the holistic, developmental, systems-oriented perspective for stimulating interprofessional, interdisciplinary collaboration and synergistic relationships across subspecialities in psychology.
