The third edition of this best-selling textbook provides students with a clear, concise account of what psychology is and how it came to be that way. Unlike many introductory texts which offer encyclopaedic but often unfocussed collections of facts, this book gives a coherent framework for understanding the discipline of psychology based on five major approaches or perspectives: biological, behaviourist, cognitive, psychodynamic, and humanistic. Beginning with a discussion of perceptual processes, the origins of approaches within psychology and methods of research, the book goes on to look at the assumptions, methods and theories associated with each of the five approaches. In addition, it considers issues in developmental, social and abnormal behaviour in order to provide a better understanding of the similarities and differences between these approaches.

A stimulating wake-up call for the brain, A Whole New Mind urges us to re-examine our lives: how we think, how we feel and why we do what we do.
A Whole New Mind is a groundbreaking look at how we should live our lives in a world turned upside down by rising affluence, the outsourcing of good jobs abroad, and the computerization of our lives,
a world fast shifting from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age.
Lawyers. Accountants. Radiologists. Software engineers. That's what our parents encouraged us to be when we grew up. But Mum and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person - a person with a very different kind of mind. The era of 'left
