This complete, student-oriented and scientifically sound teaching tool is exquisitely designed and illustrated. Providing a perfectly balanced approach that synthesizes the five major perspectives in psychology--psychoanalytic, behavioristic, cognitive, humanistic and psychobiological--it introduces students to psychology in a straightforward fashion, showing how theories and approaches are interrelated. The authors, all experienced teachers, continue to employ the SQ3R'' method of the original text: chapters begin with a survey/outline of the major topics in the chapter; questions are posed throughout the chapter; reading, recitation and review are encouraged and emphasized. Stressing scientific methods and critical thinking, the text is further enlivened by practical applications that make psychology relevant to students and by hot topics'' that make it fascinating. Revisions reflect the considerable new research and data that have accumulated since publication of the last edition.
