This text does not claim to be comprehensive, but it does cover important and currently controversal subjects critically and lucidly. Adrian Furnham's aim is to make the topic interesting so the reader wants to read more, and to provide the spark which leads to self-motivation. Much has happened in psychology and its related fields since the publication of the first edition, and these developments are reflected in the 30 per cent of additional text that has been added, and in the updating of existing material. "All in the Mind" is an alternative textbook which can also be read by non-students who want an accessible guide to the discipline of psychology.
