About this audiobook
How do we perceive the world around us? What drives us? Why is it important to understand our minds and motivations, along with those of others?
The last century has witnessed incredible strides in answering questions like these. Now, this course offers you an invigorating introduction to the field of psychology. In 21 audio lectures, award-winning psychologist Professor Lawrence Wichlinski explores a sweeping arc of psychological phenomena, prompting you to adopt different perspectives along the way.
You will begin with a tour of the brain—examining its physical structures and cognitive functions. From there, you will learn about different subjects that fall under the umbrella of “motivated behaviors.” That is, sleep, food, and sex.
The field of social psychology could be a course unto itself. As you put humans’ social behavior under the microscope, you will hit upon curious correlations to your earlier discussions of emotion, visual perception, learning, memory, and intelligence.
The last part of the course take up the area of psychology that you’re probably the most familiar with from the media: clinical. You will study an array of mental disorders including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse.
By way of conclusion, Prof. Wichlinski highlights practical applications from the field of psychology. From the basics of behavioral research to the intricacies of relationships, this course equips you with a deeper understanding of human thought and behavior.
