Gr 9 Up-"The human brain is an extremely complex organ-the most complicated structure in the known universe,"and understanding its functioning is no less a complex science. Without glossing over the ambiguity of psychology, this series presents various interpersonal relationships, destructive behaviors, and personality traits to illustrate the way the human brain works. Plenty of case studies and research from all over the globe are cited, balancing both classic reputed theories with more current interpretations while dispelling outdated models. Coverage spans infancy to adulthood, illuminating the effects of age, culture, disability, gender, and societal ideals on mental well-being. Psychological disorders and illness are given limited coverage within some volumes, with brief discussion of therapies to make change possible. Although the biochemistry involved in psychology is addressed, the focus here is less neurological and more sociological, aiming at the implications of our interactions with ourselves and others. VERDICT A useful tool for understanding the study of the mind and the societal impact of social interactions. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
