"The Bluffer's Guides take a light-hearted look at the subject, yet there is a good deal of useful information.'"

Book Description
'Hard' scientists (such as those researching physics and the
biochemistry of the nematode worm) often question the status of psychology
as a science. Most sensible people, who have managed to escape science as a
profession, regard psychology as common sense dressed up in obscure
terminology ('psychobabble').
Psychology seems to progress using colourful analogies. Over the period of
a hundred years, the science of human behaviour has been based on the
behaviour of a dog, a rat, a pigeon, a thermostat, a computer and, no doubt
soon, a coffee percolator. Only the philosophers can be credited with the
original (and somehow more sensible) idea that the study of the human
should be based on the mind of a human.

Psychologists are obsessed with pointing out that the definition of any
concept within psychology, such as intelligence, memory or emotion, is not
precise. This also applies to psychology itself.
