An award-winning cartoonist teams up with an award-winning psychologist to introduce readers to the complex―and often comedic―world of psychology.
Psychology is the study of human behavior. It is a serious and worthy endeavor that has given us scientific knowledge of the ways our minds make sense of the world. Yet, as cartoonist Grady Klein and psychologist Danny Oppenheimer point out, the study of human experience can also be often really funny. This is the field, after all, that brought us drooling dogs, snacking rats, and “Freudian slips.” With detailed observations on perception, stress, emotions, cognition, and more, Psychology: The Comic Book Introduction offers students and curious readers an entertaining guide to the ways our brains help us navigate incredibly complicated environments, yet often fool us in fascinating ways."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Grady Klein is a cartoonist, animator, and author of several successful cartoon introductions to otherwise dry subjects.
