The woman in our cover image, a drawing by Spanish artist Juan Francisco
Casas, is intent; she perceives with a purpose—to learn, one might guess, about
the social world and her place in it. Casas’s creation vividly illustrates three features
of Psychology: The Science of Person, Mind, and Brain:
The Target of Study: As British psychologist Hans Eysenck put it, psy-
chology is about people: thinking, feeling, self-aware individuals whose
minds and brains give them the power to keenly observe the world—and
themselves.
The Scientific Strategy: Psychology is built on scientific observation.
The first step in constructing the science is not to speculate idly about hu-
man nature; it is to carefully observe people. Advice from the great Aus-
trian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein sums up the strategy: “Don’t think,
but look!”
Our Invitation to the Reader: You are a keen observer of the social
world. You have important insights about the topics addressed in this book.
Use them! Join us, the author team and the global community of psychologi-
cal scientists, as we look into the powers of brain and mind and the com-
plexities of persons’ lives: the phenomena that make psychology the most
compelling of twenty-first-century sciences.
