The writing of the original edition of Psychology of personal and social adjustment grew out of the need to provide a text for a General Education course in psychology concerned with promoting the personal and social development of students. This course, as given at San Francisco State College, has as its purpose aiding the student in understanding himself and others and helping him with problems of occupational choice and adjustment, courtship and marriage, and attaining success in college. These are problems that to some extent must be faced by everyone who attends college, and they are given major emphasis in this book. The chief purpose of any textbook is, of course, that of assisting the student in learning and the instructor in teaching. It has been with the intention of making this textbook a better teacher-learning tool that this revision has been undertaken. Much of the book has been rewritten in order to sharpen the focus of the discussions and to bring the various sections into better relationship with one another. New material and concepts have been introduced, particularly when experience with the first edition has indicated that they will be of special interest or importance to college students. The chapter sequence of the book has not been changed, but the approach and emphasis of some of the chapters have been modified. The research coverage has been reviewed, broadened, and brought up to date, and the revised lists of suggested readings at the end of each chapter have been more completely annotated in order to make them more useful for the student. A glossary of terms has been added.

"One of the significant trends in mental hygiene today is the increasing amount of attention directed to what might be called "the psychology of normal people." This textbook is a product of that trend. Its purpose is to help ordinary, everyday people--people with the usual number of problems--to gain a better understanding of themselves and others so that they may live happier and more effective lives. This book is also the product of the trend toward General Education. San Francisco State College has participated in this trend during the past few years by developing an integrated sequence of courses based on student needs and emphasizing the understanding of man and his physical and social environment. The basic offerings in the field of psychology have been drastically revised under this new plan. The old required course in psychology was one semester in length and consisted of a sampling of widely differentiated areas in psychology. The new course covers two semesters and has as its purpose aiding the student to understand himself and others and helping him with problems of occupational choice and adjustment, courtship and marriage, and attaining success in college. Today, after almost five years of experimentation and trial, both students and teaching staff are generally agreed that the new course does its work well. Its success has doubtless been due largely to the enthusiasm and flexibility of the teaching staff, who have met the challenge of the new course by developing curricular materials and methods appropriate to its philosophy and goals"--
