Psychology: A Behavioral Overview is an introductory text with an
orienting per spective that is frankly behavioral rather than
eclectic. This focus is made quite clear in the first chapter of
the book, but in the remainder it also becomes clear that such a
focus permits coverage of most of the topics found in the more
common introductory text. Actually, the next five chapters (dealing
with psy chology as a scienc~, methodology, evolution, physiology,
and learning) are in many ways comparable to the treatments
provided in more eclectic introductory texts. The behavioral focus
and the departure from traditional approaches be come most
significant in the last six chapters which deal with traditional
psycho logical topics (e. g. , language, child development, and
personality)-but deal with them systematically in terms of the
concepts and principles introduced in the chapters on evolution and
physiology, and especially in the chapter on learning. Using the
concepts provided early in the text to interpret complex aspects of
human behavior provides valuable justification for those concepts,
as well as an opportunity for improved understanding of them.
Although students will not make extensive contact with the variety
of the oretical approaches found in the typical text, they will
become especially compe tent in the use of behavioral concepts and
principles to interpret and understand many of the topics of
traditional importance in psychology.
