I was delighted to receive my author copies of the fourth edition of Discovering Psychology: The Science of Mind yesterday.

As some of you know, we lost my dear friend and co-author John Cacioppo three years ago. I asked Steph Cacioppo to step in and help me with the fourth edition, and I’m happy to say that she agreed! Not only does Steph understand John’s vision for psychology, but she brings her own significant expertise to the project. It was a joy to work on this! (Well, maybe not the part where we had to copy edit the reference list, but overall, yes!)

We paused partway through the project to start back again and emphasize COVID relevant content, especially in the Big Problems sections of each chapter. I’m looking forward to hearing how this works for our adopters and their students!

Ronnie and Rosie aren’t too sure about the book. Ronnie did eat my DSM-5, though, so maybe she approves of the new edition after all!
