SummaryTable of Contents
This introduction to psychology features a compelling narrative style and straightforward presentation of the ingredients that comprise a human being -- the self, the body, the mind, the environment, and mental state. These elements provide a framework for discussing psychology. In six parts the authors address: the major schools of psychological thought; how biology affects psychological functioning; how we think and reason; the impact of social and cultural contexts on behavior; a review of mental and emotional disorders and the therapies that address them; and how all these ingredients contribute to our emotions, stress, health, motives, dreams, and passions. With its focus on critical thinking, attention to multicultural issues, and commitment to the debates of psychology today, this distinctive title make the study of psychology immediately accessible.
