5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable tool for the psychology undergraduate, 8 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology (Penguin reference) (Paperback)

This book saw me through my undergraduate years and is still useful now that I'm postdoctoral! The clarity of expression and the range of individual entries provide an excellent start to any essay or topic. There are also some gems which you'll come across by accident - try the entry for psychoceramics!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best quick and easy reference book around, 8 Jun 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology (Penguin Reference Books) (Paperback)

Reber's text is thoroughly excellent; if possible, an improvement even on the second edition. Terms and perspectives are clearly explained with the occasional thought provoking comment thrown in (see the entry for 'binding'!). Moreover, Reber opts for a personal prose which distances the text from more stock, 'cookbook' competitors. Highly recommended and valuable at all levels of professional attainment. Buy it -- you won't regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good general dicitionary but don't rely totally on it, 2 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology (Penguin reference) (Paperback)

It is good for people who are new to Psychology. If you are a degree student, it is worth bearing in mind that it is of most use in the first year. As the course gets more advanced, you are unlikely to find many new terms in the dictionary. Since the field of Psychology is so wide, it is difficult for a dicitionary of this size to give detailed definitions and explanations: if these are what you want, you are better off looking them up in the glossary in a more specialised textbook.
