Recenzii
`Never before have so many academic and applied psychologists of such eminence contributed in depth to a single reference work. The authors have succeeded in writing readable, up-to-date, authoritative and accurate accounts of knowledge in their topics; and they have done so in such a way which does not obscure continuing conceptual disputes. I believe the truly interested non-specialist is here offered a greater understanding of contemporary psychology than can be gained from any other single work.' - Times Higher Education Supplement
`Undoubtedly this is an impressive set of authors who have been gathered together to produce this volume. The collective expertise present should make it an essential desk book for anyone interested in the study or teaching of psychology and a worthy addition to the library of readers with general interests.' - Dr R.A. Johnson, University of Wales, Cardiff
`I was hoping for a clear, easy-to-read style and plenty of guidance in finding my way around the book. I was not disappointed. The contents pages are well presented, there is a comprehensive index and a ... summary box at the beginning of each chapter. The topics are arranged thematically and reflect what is currently being taught in psychology courses, so its relevance to students is not in doubt ... The range of subjects is comprehensive ... An impressive group of international contributors has been chosen and they have achieved a pleasing uniformity of style ... a useful investment ... a very friendly introduction to psychology.' - Library Association Record
`Extraordinarily well edited. Much editorial care is reflected both in the uniformity of the style of the chapters and in the obvious effort that has been made to cover the relevant literature.' - Lewis R. Goldberg, Ph.D., University of Oregon and Oregon Research Institute, USA
`There are two main factors which distinguish this work. Firstly, the calibre of authors, since many of the chapters are written by psychologists who are eminent in their chosen field. Secondly, whilst providing the solid backbone of undergraduate psychology, the book also introduces the reader to some current topics of interest to psychologists.' - Brenda MacLachland, Clinical Psychologist, Cardiff, Wales
`This book offers an outstanding collection of essays on psychology ... Highly recommended for collections serving teachers, professionals, researchers, and graduate students.' - Library Journal
`This book is to be strongly recommended. The contributors are some of the world's most eminent researchers in their fields, and the coverage is excellent. None of us could think of any serious psychological topic which is not covered, and covered well.' - Reference Reviews
`A welcome addition to any public, academic or health science center reference collection. Highly recommended.' - Choice
`The strength of this Companion lies in the quality of the essays written by American, British or British-based academics. Accessible to the interested layman as well as the academic, these essays are welcomingly readable. Given the popularity of psychology this 2 volume set might merit a place in the smaller library searching for something more than a dictionary.' - Public Library Journal
