5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text..., February 23, 2005

By 

Raven "raven" (NY, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychology in Action, 6th Edition (Hardcover)

An excellent textbook that helps global as well as analytical learners by providing both written information as well as a wealth of charts and pictures.

I used this for my General Psychology Class. It was probably one of the first textbooks I used that I could understand, being that I learn by looking at pictures rather than reading. It helped me. It covers Psychology generally and doesn't focus on any one disorder in particular, so there are a lot of disorders listed and a good amount of information on each, but they are not explored in depth, you'd need a textbook or book especially for say Depression, in order to get the most information on it. But it does a good job for what it is.

I hope this review helped you. :)

This is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned. Got a couple of these and made friends at school by giving them away! Great price and in great condition.

Colleges kill you for their books...what's America come to???
