Psychology: A Graphic Guide


What is psychology? When did it begin? Where did it come from? How does psychology compare with psychiatry and psychotherapy? Is it scientific?

Introducing Psychology answers all these intriguing questions and more, explaining what the subject has been in the past and what it is now.

Nigel C. Benson skilfully explains the main schools of thought and the sections within psychology, including Introspection, Bio-psychology, Psychoanalysis, Behaviourism, Comparative (Animal) Psychology, Cognitive Approaches (such as the Gestalt movement), Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Humanism. The key figures covered include Freud, Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura, Piaget, Bowlby, Maslow and Rogers, as well as many lesser-known but important psychologists.

This book is a fascinating guide to the whole subject of psychology – an ideal introduction for anyone interested in why we do what we do and think what we think.

as a university lecturer in management i found this a really useful introduction to the topic of psychology - and with so many students choosing this as part of joint degree programmes, at last i'll be able to understand some of what they say!

As a student currently studying Psychology with the Open University, this book was very helpful in providing background knowledge to the subject. Each area is broken down into manageable chunks and the diagrams of the brain were particularly useful.
