Reviews"The primary strength of the book is that both within and across chapters the author has done a very nice job of starting with foundational topics/concepts and building in a very coherent fashion to broader and higher level conceptualizations....There is a nice balance between classic and contemporary coverage of cognitive-behavioral and physiological approaches. There is in most all cases a very nice balance between experiment, theory, and everyday life. I particularly like that the author takes the time to explain the weaknesses of any particular theory in a way that allows the student to understand not just how the particular theory is weak but also allows critical transfer to evaluation of other theories." "The principle strength of the text is both its organization and coverage. The authors do a very nice job of building from basic to complex in a way that students will easily be able to manage.", "The primary strength of the book is that both within and across chapters the author has done a very nice job of starting with foundational topics/concepts and building in a very coherent fashion to broader and higher level conceptualizations'.There is a nice balance between classic and contemporary coverage of cognitive-behavioral and physiological approaches.

"The principle strength of the text is both its organization and coverage. The authors do a very nice job of building from basic to complex in a way that students will easily be able to manage.", The author has put great attention and thought into making the demonstrations and examples work and come alive for students. In that respect, this text will be of great help to the instructor in that students can get some of the thrill of learning about the mind from the way the text is presented., I feel that the current manuscript has some important strengths, including ones I look for in a text I wish to adopt. Notably, I found the writing and the approach to the material to likely be very accessible to students. The text has good coverage with a well-organized introduction to vital concepts. A major strength which I also demand in my course is a commitment toward active learning, and it refreshing to see a text do that.
