Psychology: Essential Thinkers, Classic Theories, and How They Inform Your World

Why do we do the things we do, think the thoughts we think, and feel the ways that we feel? Dr Andrea Bonior has spent more than fifteen years in the field of psychology helping people discover what makes them tick? In Psychology, she looks at the biggest names, ideas, and studies in the history of psychology and translates their meaning to everyday situations and relationships. Both accessible and applicable, this reference book offers a foundational understanding of the major fields of psychology-cognitive, behavioural, psychoanalytical, personality, and developmental- as well as compelling insight into your own thoughts and behaviours. By taking a comprehensive look at 37 major thinkers in the field of psychology through fascinating profiles, Psychology bridges the gap between the theoretical and the practical, creating a space to explore how we fit into it all.
