"This book is a breath of fresh air. Most textbooks are boring and dry; this one is relevant and lively, filled with anecdotes and directed to college students. It's incredibly well written, not filled with superficial information (as was the case with three general psychology texts I previously used). Dr. Kottler even mentions COVID-19 as a stressor in the chapter on trauma and stress, making it practical and timely!"Helen M. Garinger, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, LMHC, Adjunct Professor - University of Connecticut
