Psychology: An Introduction 5e Content editors: L Swartz, C de la Rey, N Duncan, L Townsend, V O'Neill, M Makhubela
Psychology: An Introduction 5e 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.
