Psychology Textbooks

Simply put, psychology is the study of human behavior. But there’s nothing simple about the complexities of human interactions, mental functioning, psyche development, and mental illness. Introductory psychology textbooks will cover basics like abnormal psychology and developmental psychology, along with common scientific theories and schools of thought like Watson’s behavioral psychology, Freud’s psychoanalysis, Wundt’s experimental approach, and Maslow’s humanistic viewpoint. From there, psychology textbooks dig deeper into biological, personality, social, and cognitive aspects, as well psychopharmacology and clinical diagnoses and counseling.
