Drawing on a wealth of research from scholars in psychology and translation studies, this comprehensive collection offers fresh insights into what is known as 'translation psychology.' This interdisciplinary volume brings together a diverse range of contributions that explore translation from various applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. While current theoretical and methodological practices in these fields have the potential to enhance our understanding of translators' decision-making and problem-solving behaviors, certain sub-branches of psychology have been relatively underrepresented in the translation studies literature.
The Psychology of Translation: An Interdisciplinary Approach aims to broaden our understanding of translator behavior by introducing new schools of thought and conceptualizations. Some chapters present empirical studies, while others provide a comprehensive review of research in a specific area of psychology that is relevant to translation and translators. Written by a team of esteemed experts and authorities in psychology and translation, this book offers unique contributions that can enrich translation process research and foster further development in the field of translation psychology. This book is of immense interest to scholars working at the intersection of translation and psychology, encompassing fields such as translation studies, affective science, narrative psychology, and work psychology. It will particularly appeal to researchers and postgraduate students in translation studies.
