William Glassman, Marilyn Hadad "Approaches to Psychology"

Approaches to Psychology provides a contemporary, accessible and coherent introduction to the field of psychology, from its origins to the present, and shows the contribution of psychology in understanding human behaviour and experience.

The book introduces students to the five core conceptual frameworks (or approaches) to psychology: biological, behaviourist, cognitive, psychodynamic and humanistic. The methods, theories and assumptions of each approach are explored so that the reader builds an understanding of psychology as it applies to human development, social and abnormal behaviour.

New to this edition:

• Sections on emerging topics such as coaching psychology, positive psychology, creativity' s relationship to psychopathology

• The World Today boxes help students to relate theory to the world around them, including new examples on reinforcement values in video games, the use of attribution theory in sports psychology and how cognitive dissonance theory can be used to examine terrorism

• Informed by the most current and relevant research and theory, the new edition has been updated to include 250 new references
