Approaches to Psychology

Approaches to Psychology

by GLASSMAN (Author)

Synopsis

This is an introduction to psychology for beginning and intermediate students. It provides a framework for understanding what psychology is, how it works and how it came to be that way. "Approaches to Psychology": considers the role of perceptual processes in both human behaviour and science; examines the five major perspectives (approaches) within psychology - biological, behaviourist, cognitive, psychodynamic and humanistic; considers the nature of each approach, how each evolved and how they differ; compares how these approaches explain human development, social behaviour and abnormal behaviour; and emphasizes concepts, rather than facts. This book is designed specifically as a textbook, with both student and teacher in mind. Features include chapter summaries, key words and concept boxes, discussion points, annotated further reading and a glossary and bibliography.
