A seven-volume reference set designed to give students a complete, accessible overview of the major fields within modern psychology. Published in 2012 by Facts On File, the series breaks the discipline into clear thematic volumes, each written by specialists and structured to support learning, research, and classroom use. The handbook introduces readers to the foundations of psychological science-its history, methods, theories, and applications-while also exploring how psychologists study the brain, behavior, development, personality, abnormal processes, and social interaction. Each volume includes straightforward explanations, examples, and organizational features that help students understand complex ideas without requiring prior background. The seven volumes listed on the page include: History, Perspectives, and Applications (Keith): Methods and Measurements (Beins): Brain and Mind (Kerchner): Learning and Thinking (Hakala & Beins): Development Psychology (Shelley): Personality and Abnormal Psychology (Carlson): Social Psychology (Holms & Singh). Together, they form a comprehensive introduction to how psychologists ask questions, gather evidence, and interpret human thought behavior.
