Understanding Psychology takes a thematic approach to the enduring issues in the discipline that reveals the surprising unity and coherence of this diverse and exciting science. Authors Charles Morris and Albert Maisto walk you through 5 enduring issues that cut across all subfields of psychology: person versus situation, nature versus nurture, stability versus change, diversity versus universality, and mind versus body. This approach helps you understand both the essential concepts and the real-life applications of psychology.

The 12th Edition offers updated references and examples as well as fresh content that brings concepts to life. Updated Thinking Critically exercises encourage you to critically examine key ideas presented in the text.
