Essentials of Psychology - Expanded Version - Fourth Edition

by Douglas A. Bernstein, Peggy W. Nash

Essentials of Psychology offers many of the signature features included in the Sixth Edition of Bernstein et al., such as Thinking Critically, Focus on Research, and Linkages, in a concise, 14 chapter format. Extensive pedagogical support and a renewed emphasis on active learning encourage students to master concepts through interaction with the material. In addition, the text content reflects the latest research, important in the field and of high interest to students.

The integrated pedagogical system helps students master the material using a PQ4R method: preview, question, read, recite, review, and reflect.

An Industrial/Organizational Psychology chapter is available for inclusion in a custom text. An improved, integrated supplements package includes a student CD with each new text; extensively revised PowerPoint slides on the instructor CD and online; more depth and variety of materials on the student and instructor web sites; an updated test bank; and the Houghton Mifflin Psych in Film DVD, featuring film clips from popular movies that help illustrate concepts in psychology. Eduspace, powered by Blackboard, is a customizable, powerful and interactive platform that features homework exercises for each chapter, PowerPoint presentation/lecture slides, NetLabs and Web tutorials as well as links to personal learning activities.
