Crash Course: Psychology
Psychologists spend their working lives analyzing individuals’ mental processes and responses. Their subject is a science, but their practice is governed by ethics and morality. We may all see ourselves as incidental psychologists, confident of our ability to judge character or read body language, only to be confounded by seemingly unpredictable actions. Psychology: A Crash Course covers the most important theories, from psychoanalysis to gender identity, and Milgram’s obedience experiments to fake news. It’s a story of bold thinking, ingenious experiments, and startling conclusions that will make you stop and think. This accessible introduction to psychology includes: • 52 topics explaining the key ideas and concepts • timelines to show how the study of psychology has developed from the past to the present • biographies of key people.
