Synopsis: Psychology For Living is intended for readers interested in applying psychological insights and principles to their own lives as a way of achieving a better understanding of themselves and of living more effectively. To this end, we have included material from the major perspectives of psychology, including the psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic viewpoints. Since a well-rounded text cuts across several branches of psychology, we have included contributions from clinical, personality, social, and develop¬mental psychology, as well as from the important fields of cognitive, biological, and health psychology. Throughout the book, we've presented differing views on the same issue, along with questions that are designed to stimulate readers' critical thinking.
