520 _aPsychology: mind, brain & culture emerged from my several years of teaching introductory psychology at the University of Michigan. Nothing is more exciting to a teacher than watching students became absorbed in a discipline, intermingling its concepts with their own. What I wanted to do was to translate a style of teaching into the written word, a style that is at once personal and informal, engaging students by presenting material relevant to their own concerns and interests, yet, highly conceptual and scientifically rigorous. In some ways this is where I live, as a clinician and researcher, confronted in a hospital and a private office with patients for whom the personal relevance of psychological knowledge is what really matters, and in a university, where the task is to try to know something and study it systematically. Translating a lecture style into a book is no easy task because so much of effective on the written page. So this has been quite a challenging.
