Essentials of psychology / Robert A. Baron, Michael J. Kalsher - 3rd ed. - Boston : Allyn and Bacon, c2002. - xxv, 600p. : ill. (some col.) ; 27cm.
Includes bibliography and index
The aim of this volume is to present clearly the accepted facts of psychology. Throughout, emphasis has been placed upon fact rather than theory. Where theories conflict, the better one has been chosen, the others merely neglected. This may seem dogmatic in places, but in a text dogmatism is preferable to confusion. The point of view is on the whole functional; more attention is given to what mind does than to what it is. With this goes an emphasis upon the outward manifestations of consciousness and upon the behaviour of others to the subordination of the individual consciousness.
