| Summary: | "This book was written to meet the need for a basic psychological text which frankly attacks the problems of the student that are most vital to his personal adjustment and which offers him factual material on these problems. It may be used early in the student's college career, when he most needs orientation in terms of his personal requirements but before he takes general psychology. It may also be used to supplement an objective course in general or applied psychology, or it may be used in a course in mental hygiene or personal adjustment. Although the book is written from the student's viewpoint and deals with his personal interests, the material is based on scientifically sound data and fundamental concepts are introduced. It was planned to add in a systematic manner to the student's fund of valid knowledge and to be used in a credit course. This volume combines material often taught in courses in mental hygiene, personality, methods of study, vocational selection, personal efficiency, marriage, and orientation to college, and it includes other material needed by students as indicated by studies which have been made"--Preface.
