Focuses on Enduring Issues in Psychology

 

Understanding Psychology, 10/e, presents a scientific, current overview of the fundamental concepts of psychology. The authors highlight enduring issues that unite all subfields of psychology: Person-Situation, Nature-Nurture, Stability-Change, Diversity-Universality, and Mind-Body. These enduring issues help readers learn the surprising unity and coherence of the diverse and exciting science of psychology.
