Psychology: Themes and Variations

In this Briefer Version, as in the longer text, Wayne Weiten shows the unity and diversity of psychology's subject matter, illuminates the process of research and its intimate link to application, and gives students a presentation that makes it easy to learn without sacrificing conceptually challenging material. The Briefer Version is created expressly for those professors who are drawn to Weiten's fresh, original approach to the subject matter and his impeccable scholarship, but find the longer text a bit too much for their students to master in one term. This Fifth Edition of the Briefer Version is visually stunning, scientifically sound, and fun to read. Making learning easy without lowering the level of scholarship, Weiten presents introductory psychology in a way that will be meaningful to students long after they have completed the course.
