What's the Difference? Psychology 150 Key Concepts in Psychology
The What’s the Difference? series offers a brand-new approach to popular reference by examining concepts in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. Exploring two definitions at the same time cuts to the heart of a topic quickly and clearly so you can avoid those all-too-frequent conceptual slip-ups.
You might be familiar with some of the weird and wonderful topics of psychology but wish you fully understood the difference between concepts like conscious and unconscious, or stress and burnout. Written by clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Fiona Starr, What’s the Difference? Psychology offers clarity through:
- Snappy explanations of all the big-ticket psychology topics
- A review of key figures in psychology
- An easy-to-grasp format that introduces terms in conceptual pairs
- An accessible dip-in, dip-out design
Read the book as a whole or choose concepts that spark your interest. As you go, you will enrich and deepen your understanding of why we think, feel and behave in the ways we do. So, if you want to know the difference between nature and nurture, schizophrenia and psychosis, the mind and the brain, then read on.
What’s the Difference? Psychology offers crystal-clear explanations of the key psychology concepts you really need to know.
