Great Bargan

I needed a textbook and this was last years text but it is wonderful. I am very happy with it and will come to the site to buy all my textbooks.

great book, same info as new edition

Exactly what I needed, condition as specified. Buying used saved me lots of money :) Arrived in a timely manor.

excellent study guide to accompany the book

Arrived quickly and in plenty of time for my daughter to start college. Was in excellent condition too!

Easy to follow and understand

I thought this book was well written in a way that anyone could understand, but also challenged students to think critically and to not accept everything at face value, but to investigate and make their own opinions.

An excellent text...

An excellent textbook that helps global as well as analytical learners by providing both written information as well as a wealth of charts and pictures. I used this for my General Psychology Class. It was probably one of the first textbooks I used that I could understand, being that I learn by looking at pictures rather than reading. It helped me. It covers Psychology generally and doesn't focus on any one disorder in particular, so there are a lot of disorders listed and a good amount of information on each, but they are not explored in depth, you'd need a textbook or book especially for say Depression, in order to get the most information on it. But it does a good job for what it is. I hope this review helped you. :)
