About Nerva Press

An independent publisher with a narrow focus.

Nerva Press publishes practical psychology books and workbooks for readers who want structure they can apply, not theory they have to translate.

When a manuscript addresses clinical or safety-sensitive topics, Nerva Press may seek independent review from an appropriately qualified professional. Our books are educational resources and are not a substitute for professional care.
