relationships—relationship with oneself, marital relationships, parent-child relationships, therapist-client relationships, and many others. The concepts are presented in a unique style to serve as a catalyst to stimulate, challenge, and educate the reader. Each individual will have a very personal experience as they bring their own life histories to the material. This book is designed to supplement the academic psychology pre­sented in the lectures and textbooks of psychology courses on such topics as general psychology, abnormal psychology, and developmental psychology. The style is ideal for classroom discussion; students may disagree with some of the concepts presented, and this is valuable as long as they are stimulated to think about the various ideas. In essence, the goal of this book is to provide each student with an enriched college psychology experience. Ideally, it will pro­vide students—whether in college, high school, continuing education programs, professional development seminars, or parenting groups—with a better understanding of how to relate to themselves and to other people.
