Summary:

The purpose of Psychology for Better Living is to present material that can be utilized by the young adult in meeting the problems of everyday life. This book was written for those college students who are interested in learning some of the fundamentals of psychology, as well as those who wish to know more about mental hygiene. I have tried to keep in mind others, such as the policeman, the nurse, and the fireman, who are attending classes with the nineteen- and twenty-year-olds. In Psychology for Better Living, special consideration has been given to the information desired by lower-division college students about man's emotions, behavior, and values, as well as making material available for more effective methods of dealing with others. It is said that courses available to college students frequently do not offer them the help necessary to form an understanding of human values and what makes the good life. With today's educational emphasis on scientific and technological advances, the social and interpersonal values have been neglected. This need was considered and the problem was approached with a variety of currently accepted procedures. It is hoped this book will help to foster the building of appropriate behavior patterns that will promote social compatibility". (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
