Explore the human mind and understand the science behind how you and other people in your life think and act in a wide range of everyday situations with this brand new visual guide to applied psychology。
Using straightforward definitions and clear， striking visuals， The Psychology Handbook makes the workings of the brain easy to understand and shows what happens when things go wrong， with information on disorders such as anxiety and paranoia， as well as explanations of the different therapies that are used to treat them， from CBT to psychoanalysis， group therapy to art therapy。

Một cuốn sách nice-to-read， vì đọc xong còn mơ hồ hơn （mặc dầu viết khá bao quát và phân biệt rõ điểm khác biệt giữa vài khái niệm tương tự nhau）。 Vẫn nên mua để trong tủ sách nhà mình， bao giờ gặp phải câu hỏi khó có thể mở ra tra liền， như tra một cuốn từ điển có tranh minh họa， không nhàm chán。 Bản dịch tiếng Việt mới dừng ở mức ổn， đôi chỗ còn thô， chưa làm rõ nghĩa để bạn đọc Việt có thể hiểu rõ được。

More detailed than a Psychology 101 course I think。

I love it💗💗💗！I don't read English books usually， but I was encouraged to read this one after my 11 years old boy read it。The book was an eye candy just like all the DK books， full of so many complicated information that was written in a very simple way， it was easy to understand & enjoy！This book is a great introduction to psychology & easy to read for all ages！ I love it💗💗💗！I don't read English books usually， but I was encouraged to read this one after my 11 years old boy read it。The book was an eye candy just like all the DK books， full of so many complicated information that was written in a very simple way， it was easy to understand & enjoy！This book is a great introduction to psychology & easy to read for all ages！ 。。。more

It was a great experience to get a general overview of psychology and to realize how it works and what areas needed to be studied more in detail。 I strongly recommend this book to those who feels like all the knowledge has to be organized and interconnected in order to see a bigger picture。

Great introduction to psychology。 It starts with different theories and approaches to psychology and then gives short 2 page descriptions of psychological disorders， healing therapies and psychology in the real world。 Text is accompanied by beautiful and easy to understand visuals。

This books is absolutely amazing for anyone considering a career change to Psychology。 In a very simplistic and visual way， you get a grasp of the most important schools in Psychology， the main disciplines and where they actually fit in terms of organisations。

Ένα καταπληκτικό βιβλίο εκλαϊκευμένης επιστήμης που συνοψίζει σχολές σκέψεις σταθμούς στην ψυχολογία ，τις πιο διαδεδομένες ψυχικές διαταραχές και είδη θεραπείας 。Το σημείο που απόλαυσα περισσότερο είναι το σημείο που εξηγεί τη λειτουργία του ανθρώπινου εγκεφάλου και το πως αυτή συνδέεται με τα συναισθήματα και τις αναμνήσεις 。Σίγουρα θα το ξαναδιαβάσω στο μέλλον。Το προτείνω σε όλους ανεπιφύλακτα και θεωρώ ότι δεν πρέπει να λείπει από καμία βιβλιοθήκη。 5 στα 5 αστέρια και αν υπήρχαν περισσότερα ， Ένα καταπληκτικό βιβλίο εκλαϊκευμένης επιστήμης που συνοψίζει σχολές σκέψεις σταθμούς στην ψυχολογία ，τις πιο διαδεδομένες ψυχικές διαταραχές και είδη θεραπείας 。Το σημείο που απόλαυσα περισσότερο είναι το σημείο που εξηγεί τη λειτουργία του ανθρώπινου εγκεφάλου και το πως αυτή συνδέεται με τα συναισθήματα και τις αναμνήσεις 。Σίγουρα θα το ξαναδιαβάσω στο μέλλον。Το προτείνω σε όλους ανεπιφύλακτα και θεωρώ ότι δεν πρέπει να λείπει από καμία βιβλιοθήκη。 5 στα 5 αστέρια και αν υπήρχαν περισσότερα ，θα τα κέρδιζε και αυτά！！！ 。。。more

Ho trovato molto utile il formato del libro: poco testo per introdurre i concetti， molti diagrammi e box di approfondimento。 Ho rilevato però due limiti:- a volte le informazioni erano legate al mondo statunitense， e la traduzione non ha segnalato o modificato questa cosa （vedi ad esempio il capitolo sulla psicologia forense， dove tutti i riferimenti giuridici sono relativi agli USA）; per un non esperto della materia questo può non essere chiaro， e potrebbe portarlo a pensare che si tratti di in Ho trovato molto utile il formato del libro: poco testo per introdurre i concetti， molti diagrammi e box di approfondimento。 Ho rilevato però due limiti:- a volte le informazioni erano legate al mondo statunitense， e la traduzione non ha segnalato o modificato questa cosa （vedi ad esempio il capitolo sulla psicologia forense， dove tutti i riferimenti giuridici sono relativi agli USA）; per un non esperto della materia questo può non essere chiaro， e potrebbe portarlo a pensare che si tratti di informazioni valide anche in Italia - in alcuni casi l’eccessiva semplificazione ha portato a veri e propri errori， come ho riscontrato in particolare nella sezione dedicata alla psicopatologia 。。。more

Book had a lot of good information in it。 Explained a lot about the brain and how useful it can be。 I enjoyed it and think it could be worth a read from you as well。

I picked this up just because I wanted a review of my college diploma and this book was great！ I thought the visual cues were excellent and it was laid out in a manner that made it easy to follow。 It really had a lot of information in a short book， but it didn't feel like an overload。 Such a great choice if you want to learn the basics。 I picked this up just because I wanted a review of my college diploma and this book was great！ I thought the visual cues were excellent and it was laid out in a manner that made it easy to follow。 It really had a lot of information in a short book， but it didn't feel like an overload。 Such a great choice if you want to learn the basics。 。。。more

250 pages with a different section of psychology every 2 pages。 It gives a great overview of psychology as a whole from the history of it to how our brains actually function。 There’s also lots of useful information that you can use in your day to day life too。 The only thing this books lacks is detail as a lot of what it goes over can be fairly basic however that’s expected。 Overall a fairly easy （for a vast complex subject）， interesting read。 I’d recommend it for anyone who’s always had in inte 250 pages with a different section of psychology every 2 pages。 It gives a great overview of psychology as a whole from the history of it to how our brains actually function。 There’s also lots of useful information that you can use in your day to day life too。 The only thing this books lacks is detail as a lot of what it goes over can be fairly basic however that’s expected。 Overall a fairly easy （for a vast complex subject）， interesting read。 I’d recommend it for anyone who’s always had in interest in psychology and wants to understand how it actually works and manifests itself in our lives。 。。。more

I usually don't review games， books or films until I finish them but I will make this book an exception。 I finished around 40% of the book， here are my thoughts so far:- The book is great for people who aren't very knowledgeable about psychology or science in general。 The book has in-depth and complete explanations to various topics about psychology with the use of as less jargons as possible and it works！ - The visual aids are really effective。- The book is neatly organized。Overall， this book s I usually don't review games， books or films until I finish them but I will make this book an exception。 I finished around 40% of the book， here are my thoughts so far:- The book is great for people who aren't very knowledgeable about psychology or science in general。 The book has in-depth and complete explanations to various topics about psychology with the use of as less jargons as possible and it works！ - The visual aids are really effective。- The book is neatly organized。Overall， this book serves as a great way to start psychology for everyone！ 。。。more

This book is great。 It stands with other DK books as being outstanding reference books。 This one was really good at breaking down all kinds of subjects in the field of psychology。 This is a great book for anyone who is interested in the way we think， as well as fantastic info-graphics。 There are many Psychologists referenced in the book that I have read， listed to， and/or have on my 'to-read' list。 There are endless statistics and studies mentioned as well。 Honestly， I can't say enough。 It's a g This book is great。 It stands with other DK books as being outstanding reference books。 This one was really good at breaking down all kinds of subjects in the field of psychology。 This is a great book for anyone who is interested in the way we think， as well as fantastic info-graphics。 There are many Psychologists referenced in the book that I have read， listed to， and/or have on my 'to-read' list。 There are endless statistics and studies mentioned as well。 Honestly， I can't say enough。 It's a great one to own。 I have to recommend this book to anyone， as most people will learn something from it that that he or she could take away。 。。。more

I checked this out from the library， but it's so good I may have to buy it。 I have a BA in Psychology and I still doing this book amazingly （and easily） informative。 It's accessible， and it's laid out so you can jump around if there's a particular question you want answered or interests you have within the field。 I checked this out from the library， but it's so good I may have to buy it。 I have a BA in Psychology and I still doing this book amazingly （and easily） informative。 It's accessible， and it's laid out so you can jump around if there's a particular question you want answered or interests you have within the field。 。。。more

This book provides an overview of psychology。 As with most DK books， this one is full of helpful diagrams along with the text。 The book started by providing a timeline for the history of psychology and describing how the brain， memory， and emotions work。 It then gave brief descriptions for 48 psychological disorders and 29 therapies used to heal these disorders。 It finished by describing how psychology is used in the real world， like in education， sports， the workplace， forensics， politics， and This book provides an overview of psychology。 As with most DK books， this one is full of helpful diagrams along with the text。 The book started by providing a timeline for the history of psychology and describing how the brain， memory， and emotions work。 It then gave brief descriptions for 48 psychological disorders and 29 therapies used to heal these disorders。 It finished by describing how psychology is used in the real world， like in education， sports， the workplace， forensics， politics， and so forth。 I found the book informative and interesting。I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through Amazon Vine。 。。。more
