Themes, Issues and Debates in Psychology

Gross' central aim is to integrate topics, theories and areas of research that are usually treated as separate and unrelated. In taking this approach, he broadens our traditional understanding of areas such as personality, abnormal behavior, sex differences, and the history and nature of psychology. This second edition includes a new chapter on Theoretical approaches (Behaviourist, Cognitive, Psychodynamic, Social constructionist, and Evolutionary Psychology), and a chapter on Parapsychology. In addition, the thirteen chapters from the first edition have been fully revised and updated. With excellent chapter summaries, useful websites, and suggestions for further reading, this text is ideal for psychology students at nearly all levels.
