Psychology Around Us, Second Edition empowers students to build psychological literacy by tying together topics and sub-topics throughout. Following a familiar organization, the unique Tying It Together sections in Psychology Around Us highlight the significance of psychology’s big picture, rather than presenting the field as disjointed topics, chapter-by-chapter. The Psychology Around Us program is full of rich, powerful media resources and supplements that have been streamlined by a team of psychology instructors like you. Psychology Around Us offers professors and students a range of tools to successfully tie psychology all together, highlighting that psychology is an integrated science.

Psychology Around Us is available in alternate versions (eBooks and custom) for professors and students. For more information, visit the “Instructor’s Resource” tab or “Student Resource” tab below.
