This introduction to psychology is brimming with interesting examples that are inclusive with regard to gender and culture. With a strong historical context and an emphasis on the research that defines psychology, Sdorow provides faculty and students with a winning combination of content, readability and interest. The text promotes critical thinking and an appreciation of psychology as a science by exploring the research that defines the discipline.

The book presents the major perspectives of the discipline in a balanced and scholarly manner, with attention to, but not excessive, detail and up-to-date coverage of major research studies. "Psychology vs Common Sense" sections found in each chapter examine common sense notions in light of research.
