Heads Up Psychology introduces you to Freud, Maslow, Pavlov and other psychologists, using questions and answers to show how psychology is related to real life.

Psychology is all around us, influencing emotions, motivation and personality. Want the big ideas broken down and explained? Heads Up Psychology makes it easy to engage with psychology's big concepts, including psychoanalysis, intelligence and mental disorders. This introduction to psychology clearly explains psychological theories to answer the questions that you care about in everyday life, such as "Why do good people do bad things?" Heads Up Psychology also includes 'real world' features explaining the influence of psychology in all areas of life and 'case study' panels that describe ground-breaking experiments.

Heads Up Psychology is perfect for anyone looking for the real-life relevance of psychology.
