Psychology plays an important role in daily life. Whetheranalyzing the behavior of celebrities or criminals, finding the best way tolearn a skill, or raising children, the mind is involved. This engaging volumeprovides an accessible overview of psychology and its applications. The editorand contributors are psychologists. The book begins with a discussion of thehistory of psychology and the various types practiced, along with information about how the brain works. Details about psychological disorders, therapies, and real-world applications of psychology follow. Each subject appears on facing pages, with colorful graphics and textboxes highlighting key terms and concepts. A detailed index makes it easy tolocate material. Unfortunately, there are no source lists for those desiringfurther information. Despite this, the book is an excellent introduction to acomplex field.--Barbara Bibel Copyright 2018 Booklist
