Abstract
The book review offers a critical evaluation of The Routledge Handbook of Public Service Interpreting, edited by Laura Gavioli and Cecilia Wadensjö. The review discusses the volume’s strengths in providing a comprehensive overview of public service interpreting (PSI), including theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, authentic settings, interpreter training, and career development. However, it also highlights some limitations, such as the need for broader perspectives and practical guidance on AI technology and challenging situations. Overall, the Handbook is deemed a valuable resource for pre- and in-service interpreters, interpreter educators, researchers, and stakeholders involved in PSI.
