Complete Psychology is the textbook undergraduates have been waiting for. Unlike the other texts out there, it fits exactly with the very latest BPS curriculum. This ground-breaking text is tailored to the UK first-year undergraduate market and provides excellent coverage of the major areas of study -- Social, Cognitive, Developmental and Clinical Psychology, Research Methods, and many more -- as well as giving advice on careers in psychology and psychology study skills. Complete Psychology is accompanied by a website, www.completepsychology.co.uk, containing chapter summaries, author pages and downloadable presentations. Written by an experienced and respected team of authors, this highly accessible, definitive text is illustrated in full colour, and quite simply covers everything students need for their first-year studies as well as being an invaluable reference and revision tool for second and third years.

Albery are at South Bank University; Dr Chris Chandler and Dr Simon Moore are at London Metropolitan University; Dai Jones is at the University of Gloucester; and Dr Andy Field is at the University of Sussex.

Complete Psychology is one of the best introductory textbooks into the subject. The criticism of it being overly simplistic isn't far off the mark, but fails to realise that Complete Psychology is intended to be accessible, not overly challenging or confusing - and in this light it serves its purpose well.

I'd particularly recommend it to any undergraduate students who perhaps are studying psychology having never studied it before for two reasons:
1) It follows BPS (British Psychological Society) guidelines
2) It assumes no prior knowledge and thus is a fantastic reader to get to grips with the basics.
