Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour
By the time this 7th edition of Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour is published, it will
be 28 years since the first edition appeared (and 30 years since the contract for that first edition
was signed!). Needless to say, much has changed within Psychology in that time, and yet some of
the basic questions that researchers have been exploring – and philosophers before them – are
still being asked.
Despite the advent of e-books and the evolution of electronic media in general, the task of the textbook author has remained essentially the same. Something that you, as a student having to write essays, seminar papers, and dissertations, and I, as a textbook author, have in common, is the challenge of deciding what is best to include and exclude within what are always finite resources – time, money, words, and so on. Users of this book are (mainly) students new to Psychology, who need to know something of its past in order to appreciate
where it is now – and where it might be going in the future. In order to make room for discussion of
recent developments, I have continued what was started in the 6th edition, namely, to reduce the amount of detail when describing the older (but never redundant) material. Also, I’ve sometimes sign-posted the reader to alternative sources of material, rather than providing a cursory summary of a particular study or theory
