Higher Psychology

The book contains a lot of information and I found this to be a great aid in learning. Rather than struggle through a subject using only some meagre notes and trying to learn only that which is absolutely necessary, I discovered early on that the best way to learn a subject is to build up as much extra knowledge as possible. This in turn provides the basis for better learning, since anything new can be understood and related to more easily using this wider view of the subject.

Overall I think this book belongs in any psychology student’s collection and will almost certainly bring about a better understanding of the subject.

I am a sixth year student studying Higher Psychology. At first I felt this book was an excellent study aid for external, and internal, examinations. However, I found it to be very 'wordy' and including a bit too much info, ie. I was bogged down! The information was absolutley correct, but I felt other options (such as class notes) where more useful. This was due to the fact I had no time to read the in-depth analysis of each approach... as I have more subjects to worry about. Furthermore, it only covers the first unit out of three. If you are intersested in Psychology for future study... it's a PERFECT book, but if you are like me and just want a decent grade, this is not the book for you!
