Martin Bolt helps students learn more about themselves as they learn the facts of, and theories about, the fascinating field of psychology. This book is a terrific accompaniment to virtually any psychology course (most notably, human adjustment and growth, introductory psychology, and abnormal psychology). For those teaching a course in positive psychology, Pursuing Human Strengths provides a primary text.
