Psychology /

Abstract

This fourth edition, like the previous three, has several features to help you understand the applications and controversies in psychology and to make you think more deeply about psychological issues and psychological research. It is designed to give you a flavour of what modern psychology is about. It describes every major field of psychology and includes up-to-date information and clear evaluation of controversial findings, theories and models in psychology. One of the best ways to learn about psychology is to keep abreast of new developments in the field. As a beginning student, you clearly need to know and understand the basics, but you also need to know how those basic findings are being modified and challenged.
