i think this book is excellent, however i think in each section there should be more synoptic links as this helps with higher level understanding of the issues being debated.

This is a fantastic book!!! Our psychology teacher was sacked and we never got given a replacement, so I taught myself from this book - I got an A*. This book is AMAZING.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS OF ALL ABILITIES! :) :) Its clear, with pictures, and all topics are over a 2 page spread so they are really easy to read. There are summary pages too at the end of the chapters. IT IS A BRILLIANT TEXT BOOK!

Loved the layout of this textbook. It was not your typical boring black and white textbook with lots of writing, it has diagrams and pictures and the layout is so effective. The content is also very detailed. A fantastic book.

To any readers who doubt my low rating of the textbook when compared to other reviwers I would point out that they are in fact not reviweing the same book all reviews made befoe 2009 refer to the previous A2 specification not the new one. The book was updated to reflect this new specification and this is the book we have been given at college. I can assure you that it has of been absolutely no use to either me or anyone at my college who is doing psychology. We have in fact been advised by our teachers themselves not to use it as it is in a confusing format and does not tell you all you need to know. It is true that some of the chapters can be useful but the ones we had to study for our exam were utterly useless and without further handouts from our teachers and the approved textbook I have no doubt I would have doomed myself to failing the upcoming exam I have. I would recommened the AQA approved textbook over this one.

If you are sitting Psychology AQA 'A' Specification this book is an absolute must!
Seriously - it's written by one of the guys who writes your paper- it would be stupid not to get it.

Hope this helps!!!

useful
Useful to read over model answers but making own notes was more help. Actual exam questions were fairly similar to those in the book.
