The Little Book of Psychology: An Introduction to the Key Psychologists and Theories You Need to Know

Product Information

I am studying counselling, so I have a lot of books on the subject of psychological therapies and theories. This book allowed me to succinctly clarify the main ideologies and allowed me to have a clear understanding before studying the theories more in depth. It was insightful to be able to have the main topics of psychodynamic, behaviorist, cognitive and humanistic therapy in close proximity of each other to assess differences of each approach.

She notices that she does not have a penis, while the male members of her family do, and she wishes that she too had one. Freud thought that the girl's logical reasoning would be to believe that her mother had cut off her, the girl's, penis.
