Book description
Pavlov's Dogs, Psychoanalysis, Milgram's Obedience Study, and
Beck's Cognitive Therapy? Sure, you know what they all mean. That is,
you've certainly heard of them. But do you know enough about these
psychology theories to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar
with your knowledge? 30-Second Psychology takes the top 50 strands of
thinking in this fascinating field, and explains them to the general
reader in half a minute, using nothing more than 300 words and one
picture. The inner workings of the human mind will suddenly seem a lot
more fun, and along the way we meet many of the luminaries in the
field, including William James, Aaron Beck, and (of course) Sigmund
Freud. From Behaviorism to Cognivitism, what better way to get a
handle on your inner demons?
