Synopsis

This book presents five key areas of behaviour and experience, which appear to take distinctive and complex forms in human beings. Each key area is a challenge to study in terms of complexity of the phenomena involved.

Each area also poses a distinctive challenge in terms of understanding, and negotiating a way through, the range and diversity of perspectives presented. Throughout, the book highlights some of the key themes, debates and controversies that make psychology currently one of the most exciting academic disciplines to study.

The topics covered include: Lifespan development • Language and meaning • The psychology of sex and gender • Consciousness • Normal Development?
