Psychology: The Comic Book Introduction

Taking a practical look at psychology and our everyday interactions, this illustrated comic book helps teens and adults make sense of the world, ourselves, and one another. It begins with a foundation that psychology is understanding the human experience – how we perceive and learn, the power of our emotions and motivations, and understanding the personality and influences of others. The author and illustrator have done an excellent job of explaining in word and comic format many complex observations and theories from the field of psychology. The text is not written from a Christian perspective, so there are a few references to alcohol use as well as the remark that religious faith can reduce stress, but scant evidence that it can heal disease. These references, however, are few and do not hinder the excellent insights provided. Engaging and educational, this title provides a valuable introduction to the foundational ideas and philosophy behind current psychological trends. Features black and white graphics. ~Deanne
