This project is our local introductory psychology textbook for first-year undergraduates. It strikes a balance between classic and contemporary topics and theory, and students will be engaged by local ideas and examples within the context of psychology as an international discipline. In the first-year course, students are introduced to all the different disciplines within psychology - including developmental and social psychology, learning and cognition, clinical psychology, motivation, research, and psychological disorders - and to how all the specialties are linked. There are also the levels of psychology they need to think about - from the individual, family or group to the wider community, to the cultures they live in, and then, ultimately, to the global community.
How does memory work? Who is the "distractor" in your family? What was the "car crash" experiment? The Psychology Book is your visual guide to the complex and fascinating world of human behavior.

The book offers a comprehensive treatment of core concepts, grounded in both classic studies and current and emerging research. The text also includes coverage of the DSM-5 in examinations of psychological disorders.
