About the author

Spence Rathus is a veteran author who, in addition to his intro and development books with Thomson Learning, publishes texts in adjustment and abnormal psychology with other publishers. Spencer A. Rathus is known for his warm, encouraging writing style and applied approach to learning. As the first member of his family to attend college, he struggled through dry and technical books that didn’t resonate with him. His goal is to write textbooks that excite and motivate today’s students, through humor, personal examples, and a clear pedagogical framework. Since earning his Ph.D., he has published research articles in the areas of human growth and development, psychological disorders, methods of therapy, and psychological assessment. Foremost among his research publications is the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule(RAS), which is widely used in research and clinical practice and frequently referenced in other literature. Rathus taught at Northeastern University and St. John’s University before arriving at his current position at New York University, where he teaches a culturally diverse population of students in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

Reviews

[Linda]

A well organized, well written overview of human development. The self-checks at the end of each chapter helped with studying and confirming understanding of the material.

[Cadence]

I speed-read and took notes on all 19 chapters before my free temporary access ran out. 0/10, do not recommend, my sanity is worth more than $50
