Great book!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

I bought this book as a reference for my psychology class that I teach at a local college. If I could select the textbook for my class, I would select this book. The text is well written, and the pictures,charts, diagrams are very helpful especially compared to the text I am stuck using. This book is a nice supplement and resource.

Great Introduction

I am delighted by this book.

First of all, I am a computer scientist and I picked this book without taking a course. I was reading books like "Your erroneous zones", "Too much control", "Do what you are" and some others like those, when I decided I wanted have a deeper understanding of psychology.This book is great. I was first surprised to discover there was much more to psychology than Freud, Jung and the psychoanalysis. Just look at its table of contents. 1. The Science of Psychology. 2. The Biological Basis of Behavior. 3. Sensation and Perception. 4. States of Consciousness. 5. Learning. 6. Memory. 7. Cognition and Language. 8. Intelligence and Mental Abilities. 9. Motivation and Emotion. 10. Life Span Development. 11. Personality. 12. Stress and Health Psychology. 13. Psychological Disorders. 14. Therapies. 15. Social Psychology. Reading this book helped me understand myself and other people, and it has a lot of sources. There was not a chapter I found uninteresting. A great buy.
