Description

Combining the principles of scientific psychology with applications, this text helps your students examine their ways of thinking and behaving. It allows a student to analyze the interaction within self, others, and work. Each section of the test introduces students to the psychological concepts governing behavior, drawing from clinical, social, experimental, developmental, applied, and ecological psychology from empirical foundations. And each section then offers self-change techniques which enable them to apply this information to their own lives. -- from http://books.google.com (Sep. 29, 2011).
