What are the introductory psychology books to introduce

1."Three Kinds of Psychology: Freud, Skinner, Rogers' Psychological Theory" This book, which mainly introduces and compares the thoughts of the representatives of the three major schools of contemporary psychology (psychoanalysis, behavior, and humanism), is worth reading as an introductory book to psychology.

What impressed me most about this book was the introduction to Freud, who is best known for his psychological disorders caused by human sexuality and destructive instincts, and the interpretation of dreams. But personally, I think the part of his theory that has been useful to most people until now is about the defense mechanism of the ego. Understanding these mechanisms can be helpful in adopting the right attitude when facing difficult situations.

2."Psychology and Life" "Psychology and Life" is a textbook used by Stanford University for many years, and it is also a classic textbook that has been promoted and used in many universities in the United States. Not only that, this textbook is fluently written, easy to understand, and goes deeper into life, linking psychological theories and knowledge with people's daily life and work, making it also an excellent reading for the general public to understand psychology and themselves!

3."Three Psychology" This book introduces the basic theories of psychoanalytic behaviorism and humanism, and should be a good primer. 4.

Introduction to Psychology - The Way to Know Thought and Behavior is another well-known psychology textbook in the United States. This book is translated from the latest revised 9th edition of the original book and organized by the staff of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Both of these books are large tomes, but they are written in a simple way and close to life, and at the same time, they contain the latest research results and cutting-edge information of the discipline, which is really the best primer for psychology lovers.

5."Introduction to Psychoanalysis" It summarizes Freud's basic ideas and the main content of psychoanalysis, and the exposition is clear and appropriate, which is extremely rare in similar books. Freud and Marx (Chinese University Press, 2004) expounds the relationship between psychoanalysis and Marxism.

Although the book was written in the 30s of the last century, it still has lost its value. 6."Inferiority and Transcendence" is Adler's most influential book, which has been published by many publishing houses in China.

The word psychology is a Greek word that means the science of the soul. In daily life, psychology is even more close. I've put together a list of introductory books for psychology, and I hope you enjoy it:

01. Psychology and life

The author of this book, Philip Zimbardo, is the world's leading psychologist who has been world-renowned for his excellent Stanford prison experiments, and is known as the "voice and face of contemporary psychology" for writing "Psychology and Life" and hosting the TV series "Exploring Psychology". This book connects psychological theories and knowledge with people's daily life and work, which is easy to understand and goes deep into life, making it also an excellent reading material for the general public to understand psychology and themselves.

02. 40 studies that changed psychology

It is unique in that it bridges the gap between psychology books and psychology research, presents 40 of the most famous studies in the history of psychology from a historical perspective, and introduces the subsequent progress of these studies and related research. The book is divided into ten psychological topics, including "Biology and Human Behavior", "Perception and Consciousness", "Learning and Conditioning", "Intelligence, Cognition and Memory", "Human Development", "Emotions and Motivation", "Personality", "Psychopathology", "Psychology" and "Social Psychology".

03, the rabble

The Rabble is an influential work in the field of social psychology that should be read by anyone who thinks deeply about group behavior and wants to make a difference. Gustave Le Pen's extremely delicate description of the collective mentality has had a huge impact on people's understanding of the role of collective behavior and on thinking about social psychology. Its ideas are novel and the language is vivid, and it is a must-read work for researchers of group behavior.

04, when Nietzsche cried

This is a classic book of psychological reasoning**, the characters in the book are mostly from real history, the author pretends to be two masters of the late 19th century: Nietzsche and Breel, based on historical facts to connect the two reasonable fiction into doctors and patients, starting a gripping "conversation**". "When Nietzsche Cried" is one of the best psychology I've ever seen**.

05. This is psychology

Nowadays, all kinds of pseudo-psychological arguments are flooding our **, our lives and our bookshelves, and a huge industry is emerging that operates a pseudo-scientific belief system that always wants to make the public believe that anything can be included in the category of psychology out of vested interests. Open this book and let the masters of psychology teach you how to stand in the perspective of critical thinking, treat psychology with a scientific attitude, and completely get rid of the misunderstanding of pseudo-psychology.
