A classic introduction to psychology, the new edition of Wortman & Loftus with new co-author Charles Weaver returns the text to its familiar place as an accessible and thorough text, deeply committed to the scientific approach to psychology. As was the case in previous editions this continues to be a sophisticated, no-nonsense, research-oriented text that features critical thinking through "In-Depth" analysis of research studies. Briefer than the more encyclopedic texts, it is also selective in its coverage and focuses on cutting edge cognitive and neuroscience research. The new edition incorporates a discussion of four key themes in psychology that act as a means of pulling together information from the various sub-fields and presenting a "Big Picture" of psychology.

However, their students would relate better to the material if Canadian examples, statistics and stories were used to illuminate the concepts.
