| Summary: | "The writing of the original edition of Psychology of personal and social adjustment grew out of the need to provide a text for a General Education course in psychology concerned with promoting the personal and social development of students. This course, as given at San Francisco State College, has as its purpose aiding the student in understanding himself and others and helping him with problems of occupational choice and adjustment, courtship and marriage, and attaining success in college. These are problems that to some extent must be faced by everyone who attends college, and they are given major emphasis in this book. The chief purpose of any textbook is, of course, that of assisting the student in learning and the instructor in teaching. It has been with the intention of making this textbook a better teacher-learning tool that this revision has been undertaken. Much of the book has been rewritten in order to sharpen the focus of the discussions and to bring the various sections into better relationship with one another. New material and concepts have been introduced, particularly when experience with the first edition has indicated that they will be of special interest or importance to college students. The chapter sequence of the book has not been changed, but the approach and emphasis of some of the chapters have been modified. The research coverage has been reviewed, broadened, and brought up to date, and the revised lists of suggested readings at the end of each chapter have been more completely annotated in order to make them more useful for the student. A glossary of terms has been added"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved). |
