The purpose of this textbook is to serve as an introductory course in Psychology. The book contains eleven chapters covering the basics of Psychology. In addition, this is designed to facilitate the integral development of students for them to understand concepts on human development, behavior, emotion and motivation as well as the salient features of intelligence and personality thereby realizing the fullness of individuals.
Even though this is an introductory textbook, we see to it that the students will learn to appreciate how Psychology can help them to see themselves as members of the community.
This is not just a compilation of concepts and theories but also constitutes a field that can make a difference in your life, in your communities and in our world.
This textbook could not have been written without help from many people whose ideas we have borrowed, modified and incorporated. To them we are especially indebted.
