I think it basically refers to the kind of work/research currently being carried out in the different fields of psychology, for e.g. in the behaviorist school using Applied Behavior Analysis techniques with the special/disabled population has become extremely popular. Cognition, neuro-psychology and positive psychology are other examples. U need to know what areas are psychologists focusing on in the recent years, in Pakistan CBT has become a very popular method as a manual of it has also been translated in urdu.

If u want ur answer to be really impressive, mention tht the DSM V (which is gona be published in 2013) the proposed changes in it and the research tht led to the proposed changes.

(Home | APA DSM-5)

(American Psychological Association (APA))

(sorry i know it seems like a lot of work for just one answer)
