Psychology of adjustment and human relationships

This textbook joins the principles of scientific psychology with practical application, encouraging readers to look critically at how they think and act. It examines the way a person interacts with themselves, with other people and in the workplace. Each part introduces the psychological ideas that shape behaviour, drawing on several branches of the field, from clinical and social to developmental and ecological work. Every section then offers techniques for self-change, so readers can test these ideas against their own lives.
