This book, as its title indicates, is a short text for the first course in psychology.A short textbook can serve two purposes. It can provide all or most of the printed material for a course that is truly intended to be a survey and not go into the details covered in longer psychology texts. A short textbook can also be used to make room in a more intensive course for other study materials, such as a book of readings, which can give students a perspective that even the lengthiest textbook cannot provide. Key Features The aim is to present anaccurate picture of what psycholigies Know, as distinguished from what they think or how they work. Cover information that students can apply to their feilds of interest and in their own lives. A glossary has been included as a study aid, and learning objectives have been provided at the begnning of each chapter.
