"Making a new friend is easy with help from Sesame Street! Young readers learn fun ways to approach, get to know, and have fun with a new friend--in just five minutes!"--Provided by publisher.

Family psychology is a vast area of the psychological field. Despite its name, those who work in the field deal not only with families but also with groups who often function like families, including those in a workplace or a community organization. Family psychology has the task of helping families and other groups of people function as a unit while at the same time recognizing the value of the individual. This book covers everything you need to know to better understand the practice of family psychology. It covers the basics such as history and education, but it goes deeper. You will learn to see the kinds of people the field can help, and you will see what valuable lessons family psychology has to teach us.
