Psyched and Self-Care: A Guide to Self-Care and Mindfulness

Psyched is an online textbook for students taking an Introduction to Psychology course at the college level. Each chapter begins with “Student Learning Objectives” followed by a short summary of the main topics that will be covered and ends with definitions of all the key terms covered in the chapter. Unique to this book is the integration of popular culture examples within the text, a focus on application of materials, and links to “Psyched with Setmire”; a YouTube channel featuring lecture presentation videos created by the author that coordinate with the chapter content. In addition to the textbook chapters, there are also additional resources available to students such as the PowerPoint lecture slides used in class for each chapter, test yourself review opportunities, and supplemental handouts including in-class activities and warm-ups.
