Synopsis

Heads Up Psychology is filled with intriguing topics, this guide to human behaviour highlights ideas central to developmental, biological, cognitive, and other branches of psychological study, while introducing preeminent psychologists and their contributions.

The crucial infant-mother bond, how the brain makes decisions and processes memories, mental illness, and the science of emotions are among the topics covered.

Attention-getting headers ("Why do good people do bad things?" introduces a discussion of the human capacity for evil) should hook curious readers, while the findings of psychological studies should deepen their understanding of this field.

External Reviews

"A very interesting introduction to psychology! I loved the bright and engaging layout, and the scientist pages scattered throughout."

"The strong point of ''Heads up Psychology'' is that is it divided into 5 major sections, that is, developmental psychology, biological psychology, cognitive psychology, psychology of difference, and social psychology, and also offers titbits on information of the definition of psychology, the role of psychologists, research methods, a directory of psychologists as well as a glossary,

Through easy to understand colourful interactive and interesting articles each related to the sections mentioned above, readers of any age are not only introduced to this field of study but are also encouraged to witness the theories explained either through themselves or in their surroundings."
