The new Fourth Edition of Kowalski & Westen's Psychology addresses these teaching challenges. The student develops evaluative reasoning through self-discovery for a lifetime of learning. Students are drawn into the material in a way that in-trigues and stimulates so they begin to see psychology at work in their daily lives.

Like its predecessors, this new edition effectively captures the diversity and breadth of psychology. A complete overview of how human beings think, feel, and behave is included. Psychology is an evolving science, which continually addresses and re-addresses the relationship between psychological events and their neural underpinnings, between cognition and emotion, be-tween cultural processes and human evolution, between nature and nurture, and more.

LOVE IT!

Customer Rating:

I am currently attending the University of Phoenix Online, and find this book a valuable resource. When the authors bring up new terms or topics, they always lay it out in an easy to understand way, by using examples, and discussing experiments that further understanding of the topics. As an online student, it is imperative that I understand what I am reading, as the professor is not always readily available to ask questions. Since the classes are five weeks long, and truly intensive, this is a great book. It is easy to read, and like I said before, everything is laid out in an easy to understand format.

I used this book for intro psych in first year, in classes for second year and still find it a valuable resource in third year. It is a fantastic book!

Excellent for some

Customer Rating:

I just recently bought this book for my intro to Pysch class. It is laid out well, is very readable, and has lots of graphics. Needless to say that makes it a true easily digestible introductory text with limited information on each topic. Buyers beware that friends of Jung will find no friends here. He is never to my knowledge mentioned in the text and is certainly not in any of the indexes. It is oriented to a "scientifically provable" approach to psychology and will be an excellent text for those who share this viewpoint.

A Joy

Customer Rating:

I recently took an introductory psychology course, and this was the assigned text. I can say without hesitation that this is one of the most readable textbooks, in any subject, I've ever seen. Westen has a gift for explaining complex concepts in a very clear, understandable way. The relevent antecdotes and occasional wry humor work to make this book all the more enjoyable to read. I would recommend this book to anyone taking an introductory psych class, or anyone who just wants to learn the basics of psychology.
