WASHINGTON, March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- The CFP Board Center for Financial Planning
announced today that Client Psychology, a new book featuring
groundbreaking research on a client-centered approach to financial
planning, is now available. Edited by the Center's Director of
Academic Initiatives, Charles
Chaffin, Ed.D., it is available in bookstores and through
major online retailers. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
(NYSE: JWA and JWB), the book is the second in a series for
faculty, students, practitioners, and researchers who work within
the profession or discipline of financial planning.
"Client Psychology marries multiple academic disciplines
to define a path forward for new client research and most
importantly, helping financial planning practice become more
client-centered," said Dr. Chaffin. "Client Psychology
defines an entirely new area of research and practice, builds upon
the financial planning body of knowledge, and is a practical
resource for students and practitioners."
The 336-page book explores the biases, behaviors, and
perceptions that impact client decision-making and overall
financial well-being. Informed by research from practitioners, it
outlines the theory behind many of these areas while also
explicitly stating how they directly impact financial planning
practice.
This book is the second in a series. Over the next four years,
the series will include a number of content areas within and beyond
financial planning, helping to expand the body of knowledge for
practitioners while fueling research and preparing the next
generation of financial planners to serve the public.
