The Psychology Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained



The Psychology Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained

Summary: Clearly explaining more than 100 groundbreaking ideas in the field, The Psychology Book uses accessible text and easy-to-follow graphics and illustrations to explain the complex theoretical and experimental foundations of psychology.

From its philosophical roots through behaviorism, psychotherapy, and developmental psychology, The Psychology Book looks at all the greats from Pavlov and Skinner to Freud and Jung, and is an essential reference for students and anyone with an interest in how the mind works.

Angie's Comments:  If you are a student taking a psychology class or just interested in psychology, this is a great book. It is best used as a reference, looking up people or ideas that you are interested in, rather than reading the book cover to cover. The ideas are explained as well as the theorist, with a short biography of the theorist, and you can check out the “See also” for related information in the book. Quick and easy explanations, usually only two pages long.
