- The first book to address translation processes from the perspective of a number of so-far unexplored sub-fields of Psychology, providing the whole picture in terms of how psychology can shed light on translator behaviour.
- Translation and psychology is a significantly growing area of research but has so far focussed on cognitive science and translation. This book has a broader perspective and will thus be able to encourage new research and training programs.
- co-edited by leading authorities in the field , this timely and innovative volume demonstrates the benefits of adopting new psychological perspectives for translation research, showing the potential to strengthen and diversify how translatorial decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood.
