With a strong emphasis on application―without neglecting research and science, Baron/Kalsher focuses on helping students to use the findings and knowledge of psychology in their own lives and careers. This text―the only introductory psychology text written by authors with extensive business experience―seeks the ideal balance between psychology¿s practical and scientific sides. It highlights psychology¿s scientific nature while simultaneously emphasizing its practical value―how students can actually use and apply the material they read outside of the classroom. Psychology: The Practical Science emphasizes three key goals: make it clear to students how they can actually use the findings and knowledge of psychology in their own lives and careers; present psychology as a science; discuss the major findings of psychology without overwhelming students with too much detail.

From the Back Cover
With a strong emphasis on application―without neglecting research and science―this text focuses on helping students use the findings and knowledge of psychology throughout their own lives and careers.
As the only introductory psychology text written by authors with extensive business experience, Baron and Kalsher's Psychology: From Science to Practice seeks the ideal balance between psychology's practical and scientific sides. It highlights psychology's scientific nature while simultaneously emphasizing its practical value―how students can actually use and apply the material they read outside of the classroom.
Features of Psychology: From Science to Practice
- Presents psychology as a science, without overwhelming students with excessive detail.
- “Psychology Goes to Work” sections illustrate how students can use psychology to develop a better and more successful career. “Psychology Lends a Hand” features focus on ways in which students can use psychology to gain increased self-insight, to get along better with others, and to handle a wide range of life situations more effectively―everything from resisting sales pressure more successfully to being a better spouse or parent.
- Coverage of industrial/organizational psychology in a full chapter as well as throughout the book helps to illuminate for students how psychology can be put to practical use.
Praise from Reviewers:
“I love the idea of highlighting day to day applications for an introductory psychology class. Give the students the information they can use and apply to better their understanding of self and others.”
―Vicki Dretchen, Volunteer State Community College
“The practical down-to-earth use of examples is very appropriate, and from my point of view the right way to introduce and explain psychology and its usefulness in everyone's day to day activities.”
―Christian Fosse-Andersen, Devry South Florida Campus
