No matter what brings students into the introductory psychology course and regardless of their initial motivation, Robert Feldman's Psychology and Your Life with P.O.W.E.R. Learning is designed to draw them into the field by illustrating how psychology will affect them in their careers— whether they are studying to become a medical assistant, a graphic designer, a police officer, or any other profession. The text integrates a variety of elements that foster students’ understanding of psychology and its impact on their everyday lives. Designed specifically for the accelerated introductory course and organized into convenient modules, Psychology and Your Life reflects the diverse population of students who are enrolled in college today, addressing the needs of those who may work full-or-part-time; who may be juggling their education, their families, and their jobs; who may be returning to school in search of an occupational change; or who are in a specific career-oriented program.
