Author Description

Psychology is one of the most influential and yet least generally understood areas of human enquiry. Most people have heard of Freud and Jung, but not many can describe with certainty what their views were. This guide aims to provide all the essentials of the subject in a form that is easy to use. After an introductory section on the history and development of psychology, there is a detailed A-Z section which defines the terms used and how they are applied, and gives suggestions for further reading. Extensive cross-references lead from one entry to another.
