1.0 out of 5 stars Any random explanation on the Internet is better than the explanations in this book
Verified PurchaseI had to purchase this book for a research class I am taking. I use the book to find psychological terms and concepts I should know, and then I use the Internet to research those words. Any random explanation on the Internet is better than the explanations in this book. One of the very worst books I have ever had to read for a class. Unless you are required to use this book, do not waste your money on it.
