Klappentext

BRINGS THEORY AND RESEARCH TOGETHER TO HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HUMAN ADJUSTMENT AND APPLY PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN FACING CHALLENGES AND STRESSES IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES

Adjustment and Growth: Psychology and the Challenges of Life reveals the many ways that psychology relates to our lives while illustrating how psychological concepts and principles can help us adapt to the real-world issues we face. With a lively and conversational writing style, authors Spencer Rathus and Jeffrey Nevid show us how to apply psychology to confront a variety of life challenges, such as managing time, developing self-identity, building and maintaining relationships, adopting healthier lifestyles, coping with stress, strengthening financial responsibility, and dealing with emotional problems and mental health.

Now in its fifteenth edition, this market-leading textbook is fully updated to meet the needs and concerns of the next generation of students. Expanded chapters address psychology in the digital age, social media, sexuality and gender, stress and the immune system, and the current opioid crisis. An entirely new chapter covers adapting to contemporary sources of stress, such as social and political tensions, public health in light of the COVID-19 crisis, gun violence and mass shootings, climate change, and the treatment of immigrant and migrant families.
