The Concise Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology and Behavioral Science is a comprehensive reference work that provides an overview of the field of psychology and behavioral science. The encyclopedia covers a wide range of topics, from biological psychology to social and cultural psychology, and includes articles on various subfields such as cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, personality theory, and clinical psychology. It also explores the relationship between psychology and other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. The encyclopedia is written in an accessible style, making it easy for readers to understand complex concepts and ideas. The book begins by discussing the historical origins of psychology and its evolution over time. It highlights the key figures and events that have shaped the field, including the contributions of major theorists such as Freud, Skinner, and Piaget. The encyclopedia then delves into the various branches of psychology, explaining their principles and methods, and how they are applied in real-world settings. It also explores the role of technology in psychology, including the use of computers and other electronic media in research and therapy. One of the most important themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technological evolution. The authors argue that technology has had a profound impact on human behavior and society, and that it is essential to understand this impact in order to navigate the challenges of the modern world. They emphasize the importance of developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, as a basis for survival and the unification of people in a warring state.
