Over the years, I've had to use this book throughout my Applied Psychology studies, but I finally gave it a proper cover-to-cover read over the last few weeks (10th edition) with annotations. It's a solid summary of the basics--- covering genetics, socio-cultural factors, different perspectives, and scientific research + examples. I'll definitely keep referring back to it, both to refresh my own knowledge and to explain concepts to others (clients, students, or the casually interested). A handy go-to for Psychology students or anyone looking to make sense of the mind without getting lost in jargon.

Only read the chapters I wanted to know more about to help me find more specific topics to read in depth about in other books.

Read about:
-autism
-oppositional defiant disorder
-delirium
-addiction

Gave me good insight on what to look for in other psychology books.
