Rezensionen

'An extremely well-written textbook covering an important area of psychology in which suitable books are currently lacking. The author draws on a large body of research evidence in order to demonstrate the main points and the style of writing is particularly accessible to students.' Dr Claire Gibson, School of Psychology, University of Leicester
