Psychology: An Introduction by Benjamin Lahey
This is a solid foundational undergraduate text written from a fresh and innovative perspective. The text is divided into ten sections covering various key theoretical areas in psychology. There are 41 chapters written by contributors representing universities across South Africa and in the United States and UK. A golden thread narrative is written by psychologist, Kerry Gibson, at the beginning of each chapter, linking the concepts explained to the southern African scenario.
