Lectures on General Psychology Volume Two

The voyage of discovery that commenced in Volume One continues in Lectures on General Psychology ~ Volume Two. In Volume Two we sail to different destinations and explore new and wonderful topics. Sleep, motivation, emotions, health psychology and stress, social psychology and psychological disorders-these topics are explored in a comprehensive and critical manner. Among many tantalizing topics, Prof. Ford explains- . How students can keep their sleep debt below the interest payment of impaired health. . How shooting apples off the archery coach's head in high school demonstrates the belonging need in Maslow's hierarchy of motives. . How he deftly avoided flying body parts when a pedestrian exploded on Second Ave. after holding anger in for too long. . How writing letters to dictators can result in the perceived control of stress. . How, based on cognitive dissonance, playing hard to get gains women the advantage in the game of courtship. . And how a fantasy about a beach in Pensacola elucidates the schizophrenic process. There have never been lectures on general psychology like the ones in Volume Two. Students are invited on board a voyage of psychological discoveries. The trip is entertaining, exhilarating, and thoroughly educational.
