Biased and Outdated
While I understand Coon's need to give only the briefest highlights of certain conditions or methods of therapy, the information he presents is often one-sided or hopelessly outdated.

Biased and Outdated,
By Christine (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Psychology (Paperbound Edition with InfoTrac) (Paperback)
While I understand Coon's need to give only the briefest highlights of certain conditions or methods of therapy, the information he presents is often one-sided or hopelessly outdated. For example, in listing sleep disorders, he gives an obsolete definition of Narcolepsy which completely ignores such vital symptoms as cataplexy. In this list of sleep disorders, he almost completely ignores REM Sleep Behavioral Disorder, which we are discovering is surprisingly common. The one snippet of information presented suggests that RBD presents only with violent behavior. This is, again, outdated information. Coons work is not representative of the current thinking of most experts in the fields which he attempt to survey.
