心理学导论（也称普通心理学、心理学入门）是美国高等院校选修人数最多的课程之一，与人们的日常生活息息相关。《心理学导论》（Exploring Psychology）由美国著名心理学教科书作者戴维·迈尔斯（David Myers）撰写，他在所著Psychology的基础上，对篇幅进行了适当的缩减，使其不仅针对心理学专业基础课教学，同时也能更好地满足非心理学专业学生和普通读者的需要。
《心理学导论》自出版以来，一直位列美国心理学教科书畅销榜前列，是美国高等院校中使用范围最广的普通心理学教材之一。《心理学导论》系统介绍了心理学的各个主要分支领域，由于原书体量较大，为便于读者携带和课堂使用，拆分为上下两册，上册主要涵盖了生物心理学、发展心理学和认知心理学的内容，下册主要涵盖了人格心理学、社会心理学和异常心理学的内容。

美国精神病学会的《精神障碍诊断及统计手册》（DSM）是有关精神障碍的分类，本手册所提供的标准可以协助精神卫生服务相关从业人员，对精神障碍做出更为可靠的诊断。它是临床工作者的工具，是学生和临床工作者重要的教育资源。随着60多年来几个连续版本的出现，该手册已经成为精神卫生领域临床实践的标准参考书。
DSM中的表述对精神卫生服务的不同方面的所有有关专业人员，包括精神科医生、其他医生、心理学工作者、社会工作者、护士、咨询师、司法和法律专家、职业和康复治疗师以及其他健康专业人员等都具有价值。
美国经过14年的准备，2013年5月美国精神病学会（American Psychiatric Association, APA）推出了美国精神疾病分类与诊断标准的最新版本--DSM-5。它是现有的精神疾病分类与诊断标准DSM-4的升级版。为了能进一步改进精神疾病的诊断，治疗，科研和在所有临床工作者中产生一种共同语言，DSM-5对所有精神疾病进行了重新定义和分类，并制订了精确和具体的诊断标准。它采纳、吸取了数百位国际一流水准的精神心理疾病教授、精神科医生、心理学博士等各界专家的意见和建议，因而极具科学参考价值。

A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture
Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.
Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.
