Does what it says on the tin。 A base level understanding of some psychological theories and where they came from。

Psikolojiniz Bozulmasın #starkyorumluyorAz kalsın psikolojimin bozulacağı kitap。 Şaka bi yana “Acaba bende bu hastalık var mı？” düşüncesi insanı adeta delirtiyor。Kitapta önce psikoloji terimleri açıklanıyor ve sonrasında birçok hastalık ve ona ismini veren bilim adamları ile hikayeleri anlatılıyor。 Sonra bu hastalık sende de olabilir tarzında bir metinle karşılaşıyorsunuz。 Yani mesela işte şu gibi alışkanlığın varsa belki de şu şu hastalık sende var gibi。 Ama tabii ki kitabı okuyarak kendinize t Psikolojiniz Bozulmasın #starkyorumluyorAz kalsın psikolojimin bozulacağı kitap。 Şaka bi yana “Acaba bende bu hastalık var mı？” düşüncesi insanı adeta delirtiyor。Kitapta önce psikoloji terimleri açıklanıyor ve sonrasında birçok hastalık ve ona ismini veren bilim adamları ile hikayeleri anlatılıyor。 Sonra bu hastalık sende de olabilir tarzında bir metinle karşılaşıyorsunuz。 Yani mesela işte şu gibi alışkanlığın varsa belki de şu şu hastalık sende var gibi。 Ama tabii ki kitabı okuyarak kendinize teşhis koymayın。 Bu kitabı okuyarak ancak şüphe sahibi olun ve bir danışmana danışın。 Bu açıdan çok önemli ve faydalı bir kitap olduğunu düşünüyorum。 Her bölüm 2-3 sayfa kadar olduğu için sıkılmadan okunacak bir kitap。 Dili de gayet akıcı zaten。 Eğer siz de psikolojiye ilgi duyuyorsanız veya ilgili bölümleri okuyor ya da bitirmiş iseniz bu kitap tam size göre。 Keyifli okumalar。。。 。。。more

A nice refresher from Psychology AS。 Good one for the reference shelf。

It is an "ok" book， not because it is badly written， but that it contains stuff that is already there in the Wikipedia。 It aimed to provide a "back-pocket" guide to some popular psychology terms， experiments and psychologists。 A good book to gift a young person， to develop his/her interest in the subject。 It is an "ok" book， not because it is badly written， but that it contains stuff that is already there in the Wikipedia。 It aimed to provide a "back-pocket" guide to some popular psychology terms， experiments and psychologists。 A good book to gift a young person， to develop his/her interest in the subject。 。。。more

bahsedilen başlıkların hepsinden yüzeysel olarak bahsedilmiş。 Bu anlamda derinlikli bir kitap olmasa da psikolojiye merakı olan， bir yerden başlamak isteyen， kavramları başlangıç düzeyinde okumayı arzulayan ve gündelik hayattan çok kopmayıp bilimsel jargonda fazlaca boğulmak istemeyenler için yerinde bir seçim olacaktır。

Psikoloji konusunda tadımlık bilgi edinmek isteyenler için ideal。 Ben okurken daha önce okuduklarımı tekrar okuyor hissi edindim， o yüzden çok tat vermedi。

Epic book to get a handle on the world of Psychology！！！！

A quick and simple introduction to some basic psychology concepts。 Nothing too deep to confuse most readers and it provided some new ideas to me。

I read this as part of non fiction November and i found it very accessible and easy to read。You don’t have to have any prior knowledge on psychology as it’s all explained in simple terms and each chapter takes a brief look at different theories / experiments etc。It is perfect for someone looking for an overview on the topic rather than an in depth study。

A brush up about psychology and noting new， Good

Good points: This little book provides a snapshot view on some of the most well known psychological theories， experiments， characters and buzzwords。 Each section is short， to the point and uses language which is accessible but not patronising。 After one or two pages the reader is in the position to decide whether they wish to pursue the topic further。 A fine introduction to psychology。 Bad points: Should one decide to pursue anything which captures their interest， they will unlikely be pointed i Good points: This little book provides a snapshot view on some of the most well known psychological theories， experiments， characters and buzzwords。 Each section is short， to the point and uses language which is accessible but not patronising。 After one or two pages the reader is in the position to decide whether they wish to pursue the topic further。 A fine introduction to psychology。 Bad points: Should one decide to pursue anything which captures their interest， they will unlikely be pointed in the right direction by the book。 The bibliography is sparse。 Anybody who has knowledge of or more than a passing interest in psychology won't learn anything new here。 It is very introductory。 Summary: It depends what you're after。 If it's a place to begin some exploration or a few interesting sound bites for a dinner party with friends， crack on。 Anything beyond that and you're wasting your time and money。 。。。more

Although it's not an in-depth book， it does have some interesting tidbits of information。 You'll learn just as much about psychology from reading this book as you would from taking a PSYCH 101 course， all at a fraction of the cost！ Although it's not an in-depth book， it does have some interesting tidbits of information。 You'll learn just as much about psychology from reading this book as you would from taking a PSYCH 101 course， all at a fraction of the cost！ 。。。more

It is a good book to get an overview into some of the concepts on psychology。 An easy read， tip of the iceberg。

This one a very lovely book， most of the cases were described briefly and in an entertaining way that makes it accessible to non experts

I'm not quite sure one should trust a book on psychology that only has two pages of sources。 If you have no knowledge of psychology， this might be interesting。 。。。or you could be me。 Who has no knowledge and no interest， and I read the damn thing。Not quite sure。I'm ambivalent to this read。 It's just an unnecessary waste of paper in my reckoning。 I'm not quite sure one should trust a book on psychology that only has two pages of sources。 If you have no knowledge of psychology， this might be interesting。 。。。or you could be me。 Who has no knowledge and no interest， and I read the damn thing。Not quite sure。I'm ambivalent to this read。 It's just an unnecessary waste of paper in my reckoning。 。。。more

Bildiğimiz tüm deneylerin ya çarpıştılmış ya da bilimsel deney prensiplerine uymadığı okumak deneylerin sonuçlarına ilginç demekten alıkoyuyor。 Şimdi akademik dünya yalan gelirdi meğer hep yalanmış。 Deneylerin bu yönlerini de bilmek iyi ama。 Zevkle bir çırpıda okunuyor。

Nothing i did not read before， but in a more casual way。 It was OK and worth reading。

Well written， covers a range of topics and is accessible to the layman。 Very informative， although each topic is only covered in passing， which leaves the writer a little short on the more detailed picture。
