"Psychologically Speaking": an introductory book to psychology

We wanted that Psychologically speaking be an introductory book to psychology in which you begin to explain things from scratch, that is, a book suitable for all kinds of curious people not necessarily informed on the subject.

In the first pages we talk about basic aspects about what psychology is, what topics are studied from her and what it is for, while then her history and the leap into the scientific world are reviewed, they talk about the

brain function and it ends by talking about several of the most relevant studies, researchers and discoveries in psychology and neurosciences.

In short, we have imagined Psychologically speaking like a complete book, shorter than the classic 600+ page manuals and more enjoyable than most of them. A true synthesis work: we have condensed the highlights of behavioral science in this book which, by the way, you can also buy from Amazon (follow the link).

From that idea we have got down to work joining our words with the illustrations of Javier Pérez de Amézaga Tomás. We believe that you may like the result a lot, as it offers a panoramic view of what the result is and what it has been psychology and at the same time presents these varied contents ordered and related to each other so that it is difficult be lost. After all, books on psychology They can be of interest to all kinds of people, and it's good to make it easy for everyone without settling for a little explanation.

The creation process

On Psychology and Mind we know that psychology is a discipline that covers many areas and topics. You can talk about the history of psychology, the discoveries that have been made from its field, the relationship that has with neurosciences, what teaches us about mental processes and our way of relating and making decisions, etc. It is also interesting to talk about the philosophical issues on which the different historical currents of psychology are based, and see to what extent they are forms of science or not.

All this makes it not easy to explain what psychology is. You cannot talk about a more or less fixed sequence of very important discoveries that have been accumulating on top others, as in the natural sciences, because psychology is a bridge discipline between them and the natural sciences. social. This means that there have been few unique investigations that "prove" ideas: in this science, to progress it is necessary to test the same theory many times.

Furthermore, since there is no unified theory in psychology, practically all the results obtained in an investigation can be interpreted in radically different ways and opposed.

This basically means that the most difficult thing to carry out in this project has been the beginning: how to organize so many ideas and make them a meaningful whole. After much thinking and modifying texts, we have decided that it is best to start with the basic definitions at the beginning, move on to the description of the historical roots of psychology afterwards, and then address different relevant topics separately on the basis erected.

A book to have a clear image of this discipline

So that, Psychologically speaking It is not only a book in which interesting ideas are presented. It is also an effort to sort out this apparent chaos a bit and to give an understandable and structured picture of psychology.

We hope you like it and that you learn through its pages.
