The fifth edition of Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour continues to build on its strong biopsychosocial approach and balancing of classical and contemporary theory. The celebrated pedagogical design has been reinforced with additional pedagogical features and real world issues to offer an exciting and engaging introduction to the study of psychology.

•Brand New! Learning Goals and Review Questions encourage students to consider the core learnings of each chapter and critically assess their real world implications.
