this was a text book for psychology at Baker College in Port Huron in Chonda Stimer's class. I found it to be the correct book. Beyond that, it has a lot of useful contemporary (post 9/11) information that is quite useful. Be sure to get the workbook as well. As a textbook, it is actually a very interesting book and no sleeper, as so many text's tend to be.

This is a very well written book, considering it is college text. There is an abundance of useful information, but it's not just knowledge for graduate school. It also teaches everyday applications.
If you are a psychology junky like me and also read these kind of books for fun, I highly suggest it.

A very interesting textbook! Practical, applicable to life, very easy for understanding. You'll read this as a fiction book - with pleasure.

This book is an excellent reference with far more information than just descriptions of varying personality theories. I appreciated the updated research, comprehensive definitions, and subject matters covered. This is a great reference for anyone working in any field especially in mental health or education, but anyone could benefit from it. I liked the display of helpful charts and pictures of theorists that provide clear visuals. The headings and subheadings are organized well. Also helpful are the end of the chapter summaries and multiple choice quizzes. I would strongly recommend this book and any future revisions of it. I do have to say that I had to deal with eye strain due to the small font.

I knew before buying this book that it was the eighth edition and our professor wanted us to have the ninth edition. Price was a serious issue for me and this book was exactly the same thing! It was perfect!

This book came in excellent quality. It arrived just in time to start my class, which was the time I was promised. The actual book is not difficult to read. It is however, packed with information, like most textbooks are.

Not wanting to stand in long lines at school waiting to purchase this textbook with the school's high mark-up, I looked on-line and found Amazon to be a great deal. The prof. suggested getting the loose-leaf edition, but at this price I have the hardcover to keep for reference long after this class in finished.

Am using the 8th edition of this textbook, although my college instructor specified the latest 9th edition. So far, after 4 weeks into the semester, I've been keeping up with the class with no problems. And, I paid 90% less for this book, and am not starving for the rest of the month, as my fellow students are.
Maybe I'll skip the economics courses.

Very good buy. Didn't realize the book was going to be in black and white but it still works just fine. Quick service. No problems

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was delivered in great codition, taking care in sending. I would order from them again.
