Introduction to Psychology: The Science of Who We Are presents an overview of the major ideas and themes of modern psychology studied in introductory and general psychology courses. With an emphasis on real-life applications of psychological theories and concepts, Shawn Charlton, Susan Sobel, and Ken Sobel offer not only the structure and history of psychology but also explain such concepts through relatable examples and common experiences. As students study this text, they will learn about the tools of modern psychology, the role of biological systems in shaping behavior, how the brain makes sense of the world, how they change and mature throughout their lifespans, how behavior affects their understanding of their environments, what creates personality, the differences between thinking and intelligence, what defines normal and abnormal behaviors, how to treat abnormal behaviors, and the dynamics of social environments. Students studying this text will build a foundation for further studies in psychology and for better understanding themselves and others.
