This volume provides basic information of use to those who must advise students. Used in conjunction with "Is Psychology the Major for You?," the student handbook, this book will enable advisers to methodically assess student interest in the discipline of psychology; provide a foundation for the student's understanding of the discipline and requirements of psychology; understand the nature of good advisement; assess how the department's advising program and resources might be improved; and of course, become a more effective adviser. ... This adviser's edition contains greater detail about some matters (e.g., surveys), as well as selections that may help the adviser communicate with the student and other members of the faculty.
