"General psychology presents a simple and brief study of people and how they think and behave. It introduces the subject in a distinct way by using simplified medical terminologies accompanied with real life illustration and examples.

Each chapter is composed of lessons that are presented in a clear and sequential manner to establish connection and continuity. An introduction is provided in each chapter to serve as a backgrounder of the lessons tackled.

Likewise, each chapter contains various learning tasks in the form of questions that test students' knowledge of factual information, and several activities that will develop their skills in composition and research.

This book presents relevant and up-to-date information from various health agencies; local and international. It also provides ways and tips to maintain psychologically, physically, and emotionally healthy as well as solutions to various social problems like alcoholism and prostitution.

Lastly, it is hoped that through this book, students will be able to gain broader understanding of general psychology by being sensitive and not too judgmental to other people's behavior and actions - thus attaining the goals of studying psychology." -- Preface.
