Fundamentals of Psychology

About The Book

Although psychologists typically use their expertise to evaluate and treat patients with mental health issues, they also apply their knowledge to other areas of life where people encounter challenges. Psychological research and practise should, presumably, lead to societal gains. The vast majority of psychologists work in clinical, counselling, or academic settings, where they provide direct services to patients. Researchers in this field study a wide variety of issues pertaining to the mind and behaviour, and many of them hold positions in university psychology departments or at other academic institutions. They can be found working in a variety of fields, from forensics and law to human development and ageing, sports, health, the media, and the entertainment industry. In order to meet the needs of the course, the textbook "Principles of Psychology" was produced specifically for the class. Written in a style that is both original and comprehensive, the material of this book is also written in such a way that students won't have any trouble following along and learning from it. A reader who brings to the author's attention something that despite all care would have been overlooked is worthy of the author's gratitude.
