Psychology
Six Perspectives
- Dodge Fernald - Harvard University, USA
Presents a fantastic overview of different psychological perspectives in an easy to read and accessible way. This text goes beyond what most early year undergraduates will require, but the text remains accessible even to less experienced readers. I have asked our library to purchase ecopies of this book to be available to students and will promote its use on other modules. The only downside of the book is the price which stops this book being a core text
A very good resource-particulary for post grad
It gives our students the background and review they need.
Excellent overview of competing theoretical approaches.
The book is easy to read.
This text provides an in depth account of the six perspectives it covers providing the theories linked to the perspectives applying those theories to practice and also evaluating with a sound critique of each individual perspective. Some students valued this text more than others. With students stating that the most useful section was the perspectives critique.
Great, concise overview of virtually everything!
Really good, easy to read - theoretical perspectives are well presented. will recommend to undergraduate social work students.
A useful book for students who have a basic understanding of psychology.
It should form part of the indicative reading list.
Great book for the teacher or tutor with a lot of knowledge in the subject area. Too advanced for introductory students who have not studied psychology before. I personally found it very useful to help create lesson plans. Some of my students found it useful and were able for the text standard. My colleagues have purchased the book.
