"This textbook aims to help create an engaging and inclusive learning environment and foster a life-long passion for the evolving discipline of psychology. It sets a high standard for academic excellence, scientific rigour, and inclusivity, making it essential for modern psychology instruction. It integrates discussions on the psychological impacts of colonization, offering a richer, more comprehensive view of psychology. Expert contributions from specialists bring deep understanding and practical relevance, while plain language descriptions make complex concepts accessible. Diverse voices-including those of women, BIPOC, queer, and disabled scholars-fill critical gaps left by traditional texts. Deep Dives and case studies provide in-depth exploration and real-world application, promoting critical thinking and peer-to-peer learning." --BCcampus website
