Psychology in Perspective

This work presents a series of challenging essays addressing controversial themes and debates in psychology, including the impact of the behaviourist movement, concerns about ethical and socially responsible research (such as the human genome project), and issues in social and cognitive psychology. Its synoptic approach should be useful for students trying to bring together the various areas of psychological knowledge; for psychologists looking at broad trends within their discipline; and for the general reader with an interest in psychology as a whole.
