WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY? FOUNDATIONS, APPLICATIONS, AND INTEGRATION includes innovative features to get students excited about psychology. Authors Pastorino and Doyle-Portillo organize the text around the foundational areas of psychology emphasized in the latest version of the APA guidelines. They also incorporate their successful and engaging teaching approach, which motivates students to read and captures their curiosity from the very beginning. Parts open with attention-grabbing case studies that have drawn rave reviews from students. Each case study is threaded throughout the part's chapters, providing students with a view of the content that is both integrated and applied to real life. The MindTap online learning platform further integrates the case studies; each chapter in MindTap opens with a discussion activity that encourages students to apply psychology lessons to their own lives.
