Psychology: The Science of
Behaviour, European Adaptation is the first truly "European" introductory
textbook on the subject to be accompanied by a robust teaching and learning support
package. Developed from the highly regarded US text by Neil R Carlson and William Buskist,
this adaptation has been thoroughly restructured and has much new content to meet the
needs of a European audience while retaining its comprehensive and rigorous coverage of
the key elements of psychology.
Throughout the text, Psychology is treated as a dynamic, fascinating experimental and
natural science. The book emphasises how the various subdisciplines are interrelated and
presents research applications as well as the research itself. Students are asked
throughout to employ the discovery method and to participate in the research process,
learning and applying scientific method. In this way, they are better able to visualise
and appreciate what the work and study of psychology is really like.
