Publisher's Synopsis
Get Psyched is a great book for those who want a quick and easy tool to learn the basic principles, theories, and concepts of psychology. The basic topics of personality, intelligence, development, mental disorders and treatments, emotion, and social psychology are all covered. But as an extra feature you will not find in most psychology books is the additional information on how to evaluate your dreams, understand the background of our American serial killers, how to interpret handwriting, and some basic concepts in sports psychology.
For the student this is an excellent resource to put the subject of psychology into simple and easy to read form. For the everyday reader that wants to get a quick reference on psychology topics, you do not have to spend hours going through a 500-page textbook. And for a high school teacher this is an inexpensive and easy way to teach this interesting subject. This provides you with the framework of information that you can add your own experiences and explanations. Hope you enjoy reading Get Psyched as I had writing it. Teaching psychology has been a great joy in my life and this is the icing on the cake.
