This established collection of readings uses articles and photo-essays to apply psychology to personal growth and development.

The text guides students in learning about themselves and interacting with society. Its six major themes—identity, human communication, growth dynamics, feelings and emotions, human relationships, and leading a quality life—provide a thought-provoking look at how psychology influences personal development.

Follow-up sections after each article provide a structure for discussion and interpretation.

“Applied Activities” offered at the end of each of the six sections highlight and extend the central focus of each section.

The materials are appropriate for both in-class discussion and take-home assignments.

Presents a wide variety of perspectives from contemporary psychologists to actual students.

More than half of the readings are new.

The book has been tailored to allow professors to use the text in a semester-long course.
