Psicología : Corrientes de pensamiento

Pavlov's dogs, psychoanalysis, Milgram's obedience experiment, Beck's cognitive therapy... You're probably familiar with some of these theories, or at least have heard of them, but do you know enough to participate in a casual conversation or impress someone with your knowledge? This book introduces the general public to the 50 most important schools of thought, explained in just half a minute, on a single page, and with a single image. In addition to revealing the inner workings of the human mind, it presents many of the leading figures in this field, including William James, Aaron Beck, and, of course, Sigmund Freud. From behaviorism to cognitivism, what better way to understand your inner demons? Each entry in this book consists of a 30-second introduction to the theory, a 3-second commentary for those in a hurry, and a 3-minute reflection that delves a little deeper. The chapters include biographical profiles, such as those of Jean Piaget and Hans Eysenck. Whether you choose to dive in and delve deeper or study the book from cover to cover, you are about to enter the most complex entity in the universe: the human mind. Enjoy!
