Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-31 00:00:00 Greg Lattig I was disappointed in this 2005 introductory text. I found the "modular" format of this ninth edition distracting, though perhaps it would be more useful in self-teaching situations. The preponderance of time spent on life-adjustment issues as opposed to the fundamentals of the field gave the text too much of a "pop" orientation in my opinion. (Some topics you will see in this book: Junk food, BMI, Karen Horney [good!], Stress, Gazing [although it is imperfectly defined], and self-serving bias. But you won't see references to Heinz Kohut, narcissism [except for Narcissistic Personality Disorder], self-fulfilling prophecy or cathexis.) On the whole: Not without its uses, but a little superficial and aging rapidly. Instead, consider Psychology Applied to Modern Life: Adjustment in the 21st Century

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-11 00:00:00 Brian Wauford the textbook is wack. beware of any class that uses it. at the same time, i don't know that there's great options for easy to read, intro psych books, so maybe i should keep my mouth shut. either way, i thought it sucked.
