Psychology: An introduction 5e
Editors: C de la Ray, N Duncan, M Makhubhela, V O’Neill, L Swartz and L Townsend Psychology: An Introduction is a comprehensive psychology textbook aimed at fi rst-year students, covering all core areas of the undergraduate syllabus. It provides a South African context to the study of Psychology, helping students make connections between psychological concepts and the reality of their own lives. The fi fth edition engages more refl ectively on the discipline, ensuring that Africa and South Africa remain the point of departure and African perspectives are valorised. This contributes to the development of a more inclusive discipline, a Psychology for African contexts.
Interest is engaged through narrative introductions, research fi ndings and relevant case studies, giving students the tools to develop their own ideas and to engage critically with the content.
Psychology: An introduction provides an excellent foundation for students pursuing careers in diverse fi elds, such as health, education, business, and social development.

Understanding Psychopathology: South African Perspectives 3e
Authors: A Burke, T-L Austin, C Bezuidenhout, K Botha, E du Plessis, E Jordaan, M Lake, K Makhafula, M Makhubela, M Moletsane, J Nel, B Pillay, D Stein, G Ure, B von Krosigk and A Vorster
Understanding Psychopathology: South African Perspectives 3e provides a solid introduction to the study of mental disorders that incorporates socio-cultural, psychological and biomedical dimensions. It refers to criteria from both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) and the International Classifi cation of Diseases (ICD–10) to describe and defi ne mental disorders. It also looks at the ICD–11, and how this new version has been harmonised with the DSM–5.
The third edition of this book, previously published as Abnormal Psychology revised second edition, presents South African debates and data to ensure that it is relevant to the local context. In addition, research from the rest of Africa has been integrated into the book to show how other countries in our region are grappling with topical issues.
This book is aimed at second- and third-year students following courses in Psychopathology or Abnormal Psychology as part of a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Social Sciences degree at Universities. It has been written by academics and practitioners from across South Africa.
