The aim of my book was to create an excellent balance of practice and theory. The goal was to make of utility the computer as a teaching implement for psychological concepts in the hope you can establish a greater knowledge of both practice and theory. Many books, it seems attempt to establish an impression of the right and wrong way of viewing psychology. Although recommendations, which are within the limits of the senseless destruction of rain forests, the hope is to provide you ample background in the theoretical concept of psychology, permitting you to create personal decisions about how to best view the domain.
A second aim of the book, although perhaps somewhat overambitious, was to create the only psychology book you’ll ever need. The book is very much no nonsense like me, with the first three chapters covering self-psychology, social psychology, and biological psychology. This is followed by chapters on motivation and some historical figures within the domain. The next three chapters discuss mathematical computation in addition to the human brain and nutrition. Chapters 9, 10, and 11 discuss operant and classical conditioning along with aspects of race and three case studies involving Terri Schiavo, Edward O’Brien, and Phineas Gage. Chapter 12 and 13 cover relationships and stress with 14 and 15 discussing learning and memory along with dreams. The book closes out with the final three chapters involving sexuality with the final two chapters involving physiological disorders and mental illness. Within each chapter should be something for everyone.
The most important and final aim was making the process of learning fun, despite the content being of mostly serious subject matter. To be honest, it is difficult to credit my academic ability to others such as family. This being a testimony of me being as far as I know the first college graduate, at least for a while. I guess I should thank teachers along the way if anyone. My book is not an attempt of undermining the seriousness of science as you will notice on gazing through some of the content. Perhaps I could have added a joke or a humorous picture here or there, yet in light of some of the subject matter, the decision is to remain more focused on the subject matter and less on showcasing the author’s personality.
I am sure previous editions of this book to not meet the aim. This is the book initiating my collection of literature, yet the latest in which I took the personal time to reach the aim of the book. There are no threats of me ruining the hard work of my previous editions with the creation of this final version, hopefully final version. The previous versions, I promise are subpar to my standards and aim of the book.
