Review
Not surprisingly, the book is very impressive. It is called the Complete Companion because it provides everything an AS psychology student will need to be successful at AQA (A) psychology. The book covers all of the topics and skills needed for the new specification and provides exam tips throughout. There are some great activities included and the textbook has an improved layout, more colours, more images and the paper is glossier and is of a better quality than the first edition. --Mark Holah, Psychology News

I love the way researchers are personalised in the 'meet the researchers' sections, with little photos so that students can associate names to faces [and] the diagrammatic chapter summaries are always useful as some of my students like to do a mindmap of units for revision purposes. --Jackie Ribeiro, St Gabriel's school

Complete Companion provided great example answers and comments! Very easy to read - great for students and teachers. Brilliant! --ATP 2008 Delegate

The Best Book For Getting Through AS Psychology
This book covers all of the material in excellent detail with a large number of questions for practice to make learning material easier, an in depth revision section at the end of each section and a great selection of exam questions with ideal sample answers. It's a must have for all psychology students.

Psychology made easy
This book is written in such a way that you don't realise that you are reading a text book. This make reading a lot more fun. Loads of case studies. Very interesting.

Just what was needed
This book is what the school AS course is working to, so it's the one for the job. Sad that the school can't provide a book for each child, therfore parents have to buy!
