[Toby Whaymand · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is aimed at GCSE level (secondary school final exams) 15/16 year olds, teachers across the nation came in delight when this book was published making sure their students had a copy. This book is perfect at GCSE level borderline AS level (17 year olds) and in that context it is highly recommended. This book went out of print way, way, to early.

If you want to get an idea of what psychology is all about at an easy to understand, not too deep level, this book is perfect for you!
