Psychology for Dummies

Very in depth and well written. I liked the fact that it was serious but not too serious in the fact that it does have some slight humor included. The movie reviews at the end are worth reading

This book is easy to understand. Just take a look at it if you’re interested in psychology.. this book is only just to get a brief understanding... if you want more understanding get a professional book or study this subject in high school or college.

Consider a person who is able to sense someone's feelings better than others and their eye easily catches the subtle body language cues that is reflected by people. If you are such a person and you wanted to know more as to why you are able to understand such things then you must start reading about Psychology. I suggest you to take a neutral stand. Don't be skeptical about the field and start from the basics.This book serves like a introduction to the field. Don't expect anything in detail,this book is not for that, although the books covers each topic with certain level of details. It will provide you the basic meta theory in the field. Explains the famous meta theory that the world currently believes in. Walk you through that model. Talks about how psychologists work. What are the differences in various treatment methods etc.I would suggest this book for beginners. Once you are comfortable with the field, pick a topic from the book that stimulated you the most and then explore that in detail.If you want to know about Psychology and don't know where to begin then this book is for you, else I would suggest you to look for a different book.

It was required for a class as reference book. Needless to say as a psych major, in my junior year, it has help in all my classes this semester! Great buy!!

Really good for someone interested in learning about psychology!

I got this book to brush up on my earlier university psychology classes. Any time I want to research a subject, the first thing I do is to see if there is a ..."For Dummies" book on the subject. They always make the topic easy to understand!

I assumed it would be a little more in depth but it’s just a very brief explanation of somethings.For example, there’s a “section” on dreams. Essentially all this section did was acknowledge that dreams can have more subconscious meaning than we assume. THAT WAS IT six sentences tops. I felt like I got left hanging over a clif.

Of course Easy to follow interesting read
