Product Description
By Lisa Valentino, Seminole Community College Aligned with the PQ4R learning model of Rathus's text, the Study Guide opens with a "Preview" section, encouraging students to discern their impressions of chapter material. The "Question" section poses learning objectives in an outline format and serves as the foundation for the two subsequent sections, "Reading for Understanding" and "Reflection Breaks." These two sections include cross-relational activities, such as matching and critical thinking exercises, which build on the material just covered. "Expand" pulls together all sections with applied exercises, expanding on the "life connection" theme of the text.

About the Author
New York University, School of Continuing and Professional Studies Bio: Spence Rathus is a veteran author who, in addition to his intro and development books with Thomson Learning, publishes texts in adjustment and abnormal psychology with other publishers. Spencer A. Rathus is known for his warm, encouraging writing style and applied approach to learning. As the first member of his family to attend college, he struggled through dry and technical books that didn't resonate with him. His goal is to write textbooks that excite and motivate today's students, through humor, personal examples, and a clear pedagogical framework. Since earning his Ph.D., he has published research articles in the areas of human growth and development, psychological disorders, methods of therapy, and psychological assessment. Foremost among his research publications is the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule(RAS), which is widely used in research and clinical practice and frequently referenced in other literature. Rathus taught at Northeastern University and St. John's University before arriving at his current position at New York University, where he teaches a culturally diverse population of students in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

Just what I needed for my PSY200 class
This was just what I needed. Was in great shape and provided exactly what my instructor said I would need for the class.
