Among all the sciences, psychology discipline is perhaps the most prone to misconceptions. Even though its language and ideas have infiltrated everyday culture, most people have only a hazy idea of what the subject is about, and what psychologists actually do.

The ideas and theories of psychologists have become part of our everyday culture, to the extent that many of their findings about behavior and mental processes are now viewed simply as “common sense.” However, while some of the ideas explored in psychology confirm our instinctive feelings, just as many make us think again; psychologists have often shocked and outraged the public when their findings have shaken conventional, long-standing beliefs.

The major aim of this book is to help students gaining essential information about psychology. Because most students generally haven't or only have limited access to specialist texts and learned journals, this book introduce only summarized material of some the major issues in psychology.

       This book uses simple words and short sentences and presents the material in such a way that the reader will be able to understand and absorb its content without difficulty of any kind, hoping this book increases the students' understanding of psychology, and help them aquire the basic psychological terminology.
