Book description
The Rough Guide to Psychology looks at the question
psychologists have been asking for hundreds of years - why are we the
way we are? It starts with you, your mind and brain, broadening out to
look at your friends and other relationships, then finally on to
crowds, mobs and religion. It explores the latest research relevant to
crime, schooling, sport, politics, shopping and health, and what
happens when the mind goes wrong, including depression, anxiety,
schizophrenia, and more unusual conditions. The Rough Guide to
Psychology includes fascinating information on real-life
psychology, testing your memory, intelligence, personality and much
more, with advice on everything from chat-up lines to developing your
creativity.
The Rough Guide to Psychology is your ultimate guide to this
fascinating subject.
