Product Description

Originally published in 1981 and now considered a classic text, Psychology presents a cohesive overview of the discipline that emphasizes connections to both the natural sciences and the humanities. For the Sixth Edition, Henry Gleitman and co-authors have undertaken a comprehensive revision, reorganizing and tightening the overall chapter structure and emphasizing contemporary theories and research throughout, particularly new findings in neuroscience and culture studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, comprehensive "intro." book., July 14, 2001
This review is from: Psychology (Hardcover)
This introduction text represents a "tour de force" in dealing with a complex subject. Psychology is divided into 5 sections dealing with Action, Cognition, Social Behavior, Development, and Individual Differences. Each chapter contains the biological basis at work, because, as the authors so beautifully put it "we aren't just minds; we are minds embodied."

This book is for the serious student; the dabbler, and those whose understanding of psychology is limited to pop psych-type self-help, psycho-babble will be bored.

An outstanding, scholarly work worthy of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Text for Honors Introductory Psychology, November 6, 2001
This review is from: Psychology (Hardcover)
I've used the text for my honors section of Psych 101 and as a source for lecture material in my other sections. IMHO, this the the best textbook for Intro Psych that I have ever come across in terms of the depth of material presented. It is, however, probably too difficult for the large lecture hall sections or sections taught entirely by graduate students. For these sections I would recommend David Myers' textbook. Much more student-friendly, and still an excellent source of information. Fridlund, et al., is still the gold standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Book, May 2, 2006
By Anjeela (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
Great for learning the basics of psychology in a comprehensive, thorough, easy to understand manner. I used it for my university freshman psych course, and even though the professors had to add some additional information to the texts, it served as a great guildline for psychology majors.
