Review:

"The text does a nice job of balancing rigor of content and being clear and concise for the student. It also does a nice job of using a broad range of useful pedagogical techniques to actively engage student learning."

"Beautifully written, accessible. High-level content, no dumbing down of the content. No cheap tricks or gimmicks. Solid content, up-to-date research focusing on practical applications."

"ESSENTIALS OF PSYCHOLOGY is a comprehensive treatment of the topics to which a beginning student of psychology needs to be exposed. Bernstein's writing style makes the topics easy to understand and engages the student."

"Bernstein's ESSENTIALS OF PSYCHOLOGY is a current introduction to psychology text which provides a fresh pedagogical structure to enable more profound comprehension of core psychology concepts."
