| 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 offers him factual material on these problems. It is not a text in general psychology. It may be used in a course for the entering student before he takes general psychology and when he most needs orientation in terms of his personal requirements. It may also be used to supplement an objective course in general or applied psychology. Although it is written from the student's viewpoint and deals with his personal interests, the material is based on scientifically sound data. 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, how to study, vocational selection, and orientation to college and adds other material needed by students, as indicated by studies which have been made. The chapters are largely independent of one another. The instructor may omit or rearrange chapters to meet the needs of his course"--Preface.
