The understanding of the relationship between individuals and their social situation - psychosocial studies - is growing in popularity in the social sciences and this introductory textbook successfully makes sense of this relationship. This book offers a vision of how the integration of key ideas across the psychosocial domain, the interplay between individuals and their sociocultural environment may be approached. The text provides readers with ideas about what to integrate, why integration is necessary and how to integrate ideas, offering a coherent path through core disciplinary material, the development of historical and philosophical connections, and a guide for students to develop their own skills in synthesising ideas. The book encourages readers to develop ways of looking at theoretical material in a connected way which bridges disciplines and spans 'classical' to 'contemporary' issues.
