Psychology

By Sandra E. Hockenbury and Don H. Hockenbury

Book Overview

This acclaimed classroom favorite makes the science of psychology (and through that, the process of science itself) come alive for students, with personal stories that exemplify important concepts in a student-friendly way, and with coverage of the field's scientific foundations and advances that is accessible without being oversimplified.

The substantially updated new edition extends the book's focus on developing scientific literacy in the context of psychology, with new features in print. These features are the result of the book's most dramatic addition--Sandra Hockenbury's new writing partnership with co-author, Susan Nolan, who shares her belief that the introductory course can help all kinds of students develop a real understanding of psychology and lasting scientific literacy without sacrificing the field's research core.

Psychology at its finest

This is an excellent source of information for an intro into Psychology. Text is very informative, with most of it coming from the author's personal experiences. Drs. Don and Sandra Hockenbury keep you interested throughout the text with expert writing. Recommened text for beginning Psychology students.

A great reference to hold onto

Anyone who is concidering a future in Psychology must pick up a copy of this book. As many books are there for General Psychology this one has got to be one the best written and descriptive books I have ever read. The chapters are carefully broken up into consecutive topics that start with the history and basic terms of Psychology and lead you to client-based pscyhoanaylsis information. This is must have for all Psychology majors.
