Originally published in 1971, Psychology and Everyday Life was intended to bridge the gap between the expert and lay use of the word ‘psychology’ at the time. The organisation and presentation of subject matter in this introductory book was prompted by a series of discussion lessons with sixth formers and lectures to students in colleges of further education – thus the topics presented here in the main represent problems raised by the students in open-ended lessons and discussions. Today it can be read in its historical context.
