Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book uses an original approach, introducing students to areas of psychological theory and research, then encouraging them to cross-reference topics and study possible interrelationships. Each chapter includes a summary and suggestions for additional reading, and diagrams and photos make issues easier to follow and understand. It is aimed at AS and A Level psychology students, undergraduates and those on other courses with a psychology component.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-334) and index.
