THINK Psychology

THINK Psychology covers the essentials every introductory psychology student should know. The chapters are briefer than a standard introductory text-allowing for a lower cost to students and using less printed paper. Unlike other brief texts, THINK Psychology includes 18 chapters of content-giving you the flexibility to choose what you want to study without the worry that skipping several chapters will mean leaving out hundreds of pages of content.



THINK Psychology provides currency and relevance through design, current examples and high-interest readings. The readings have been chosen from a range of well respected journals and popular press publications.
