AK_Mom4 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 DS17 is headed back to homeschool in the fall for his senior year. We have most of his coursework figured out - Calc BC, English Composition, German 4, some science thing (he has finished the main 3 Bio/Chem/Physics and just needs to pick something for senior year that sounds interesting). But he needs 1 more year of Social Studies. He has to do US Government (required) and we have that figured out. He thinks he might like Psychology. He is a text-book kind of kid, definitely. Vidoes and a workbook would probably be OK too. Any text-book recommendations? It could be freshman college level or high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 My college course used Myers and I found it enjoyable to read. It's also a recommended AP textbook if that was on your radar. Has a fair amount of free/open resources here as well: http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/myersAP1e/#t_612492____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You can get a used copy of Psychology by David Meyers for under $20. http://www.amazon.com/Psychology-David-G-Myers/dp/1429215976/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367344341&sr=8-1&keywords=psychology+david+meyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaOfThree Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've been reading previous threads and doing a lot of research for Psychology next year. So far I've narrowed my choices down to these two text books (both of which I think look rather engaging for a textbook): Psychology Around Us Psychology in Action With quarterly readings of: Your Brain: A User's Guide The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat The User's Guide to the Human Mind Sybil This is really a hard subject to narrow down!!!!

tvaleri Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 FWIW, my daughter took psychology at CC using Psychology in Action by Huffman. She enjoyed the book. HTH, Teresa in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The man who mistook his wife for a hat is excellent and I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
