Abnormal Psychology is filled with small diagrams of the brain that illustrate the structures that are affected or influenced by the abnormalities. Each and every disorder involves a particular structure in the brain. These diagrams help the students to understand the each and every part of the brain and find out the areas that are related with the psychological disorders. Abnormal Psychology also includes a section ‘Extraordinary People’ where the life of the people who live with psychological disorder is featured. Readers are able to understand how the people with mental disorder live and what the consequences are. The empirical research sections include the studies of the famous researchers with the illustrations (about where the field is proceeding). The fourth edition also includes information on repetitive transcrannial magnetic stimulation. Apart from this there are discussions about gender and culture and its relation with the frequency and type of the mental disorders.

This modular version of Myers’s full-length text, Psychology, reflects the author’s research-supported belief that many students learn better using a text comprised of brief modules, as opposed standard-length chapters.

Psychology can play a critical role in helping your organisation achieve its goals – real bottom-line benefits – by recognising and releasing the talent in your people. Whether you’re in the private sector, public sector or a charitable organisation, it’s an established fact that highly successful organisations have highly motivated, driven and happier staff. The key to unlocking this potential is through increasing people’s subjective well-being, which is known to be linked to a whole range of organisation-level outcomes (e.g., superior customer/client service, innovative problem-solving, and the other benefits that come with high levels of engagement and commitment, and ‘corporate citizenship’).

However, these desirable psychological qualities do not just emerge spontaneously; they need to be recognised, nurtured and properly managed. But, when achieved, the outcome for the organisation is greater competitive advantage and improved organisational effectiveness.

This short summary of how you can use psychology to transform your people and organisation is aimed at:

Greater staff commitment, engagement, motivation, and job satisfaction

More authentic leadership and strategic vision

Reduced absence, sickness and turnover

Superior customer service

Greater organisational effectiveness

Enhanced ‘bottom-line’ results
