Psychology for Everyman: 2nd edn.
Pelican. 1967
No one, it has been said, can claim to be educated in the twentieth century
if he has not at least a nodding acquaintance with psychology.
Few scientific subjects have made such rapid strides and
become at the same time a main focus of public interest.
Psychology for Everyman offers a broad introduction
to the ideas and applications of this twentieth-century science.
The central concepts of perception, thinking, learning, remembering,
and language are carefully analysed and then related to all
the activities of our modern industrial society.
Separate treatment is given to business, education, personality, and intelligence, and the controversial field of abnormal behaviour. Throughout the book the authors bring out the exciting relevance of the findings of psychology to everyday life at home and at work.
