Recenzii
"Dr. Maher has produced one of the most excellent texts I’ve read in my past 30 years related to the systems-based approach of creating a proactive model of mental health care for athletes, coaches, and organizations. His experience, knowledge, and "real world" applications form a solid foundation for this book that will be a "must read" reference for psychologists, mental health providers, sports medicine staff, coaches, and athletics administrators. The recent movement in mental health care for athletes in all levels of sport requires a book such as this to help guide and direct future programs from a professional and competency-based approach. As a practicing counseling sport psychologist, I’ve valued Dr. Maher’s expertise, knowledge, and collegiality for the past 20+ years…this book is an essential and necessary resource in further developing professional mental health care in the arena of sports at all levels."

A must read!"
Elizabeth L. Shoenfelt, Professor Emerita of Psychology at Western Kentucky University, USA
"This is an excellent and accessible introduction for practitioners interested in using a systems approach to foster the mental health of athletes, coaches, and staff in sport organizations. In each chapter, Dr Maher covers a range of mental health-enhancing possibilities and offers wonderful insight to how these might be realised. This book is exactly what is needed within the field at this moment; After reading it you will come to appreciate that promoting mental health in sport is a multi-level task in nature and scope and requires attention, programs, and services at individual, team, and organizational levels."
Dr Chris Wagstaff, Reader in Applied Psychology, University of Portsmouth, UK
"This book is a must read that provides a much needed addition to the sport psychology professional practice literature by examining the science and practice of how to support the mental health and wellbeing of the athletes, coaches, support staff and stake holders that operate within the environment of a sports organisation."
Stephen Mellalieu, Professor in Sport Psychology and Associate Dean for Research, Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK

Grounded in cutting-edge psychological science, Charles Maher provides practitioners with a state-of-art handbook on how to effectively support the mental health needs of athletes, coaches, and staff in sport organisations. The book is structured in such a way that each chapter logically builds on the preceding one, providing an overview of the main areas practitioners need to consider when working in this space, together with the detailed understanding and practical know-how required to have genuine impact on people’s lives. I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this book time and again throughout my professional career."
