I recently took an introductory psychology course, and this was the assigned text. I can say without hesitation that this is one of the most readable textbooks, in any subject, I've ever seen. Westen has a gift for explaining complex concepts in a very clear, understandable way. The relevent antecdotes and occasional wry humor work to make this book all the more enjoyable to read. I would recommend this book to anyone taking an introductory psych class, or anyone who just wants to learn the basics of psychology.

I just recently bought this book for my intro to Pysch class. It is laid out well, is very readable, and has lots of graphics. Needless to say that makes it a true easily digestible introductory text with limited information on each topic. Buyers beware that friends of Jung will find no friends here. He is never to my knowledge mentioned in the text and is certainly not in any of the indexes. It is oriented to a "scientifically provable" approach to psychology and will be an excellent text for those who share this viewpoint.
