Psychology 9th Edition

Excellent book. Instructors addition, Don't remember the description mentioning that. Still, a good purchase Thanks

A good book, but the reading is dry.

It's a good book. My psych teacher, prof I should say, likes the textbook. As she says, some of the reading can be a little dry and the related-to-the-subject articles help with boredom some. The book deals with all types of psychology: cognitive, behaviorist, psychoanalyst, humanistic, and biological approaches. When discussing ideas, there are usually multiple views. They'll tell you the different views like the cognitive, behaviorist, etc. views of people with personality disorders, schizo, disassociative identity disorder (multiple personality), and emotional problems and therapy methods. In the beginning there are diagrams of the mind and the brain is a chapter in itself. Learning, memory, biofeedback, dreaming, behavior, motivation, and abnormal psych are some of the things discussed. This textbook doesn't deal primarily with abnormal psychology, as it should. It's an overall, general text and pretty much ecclectic psych. The graphics are good, but charts are sometimes a little confusing. I learned a lot, but also the professor helped ingrain the information in. I haven't been to the website the book gives you, but it's only a free 6 mo. subscription, so don't count on it to aid you through the whole year. Oh, and check out the film "Primal Fear."
