The first edition of [the book] was a unique departure from the standard adjustment text. How the sociocultural contexts in which we live influence the way we adjust in our lives was woven throughout the book. The emphasis on sociocultural contexts, culture, ethnicity, and gender, has been retained in the second edition.... An important change in the second edition is the dramatic increase in emphasis on critical thinking. -Pref.
