Psychology books for exams

Hello friends!

I have frequently received requests for nominations for the best psychology books for contests. Well, in the first place, it is important to remember that we have to carefully read the public notices of the contests, because the public notices will either indicate specific books to be read or will have the main themes that will be covered in the tests. So, take into account the purpose of the exam – as an educational psychology exam will be different from a exam for clinical psychology and so on – and look for previous exams from the institute or college that is preparing the exams and have the main ones in hand. reference books, listed below.

Before indicating the books, I would also like to indicate the partner of our website Concurseiro da Saúde, an incredible portal with a lot of material at affordable prices for those who are looking for competitions in the health area.

In addition, I would like to recommend our Course 100 Study Techniques – for entrance exams and civil service exams

An important differential of the book is the scope of the topics covered. Foundations of the physiology of mental phenomena precede the main theories of psychology; from this convergence emerges a systemic perception of human behavior.

Mental health, a mandatory topic, includes the main psychopathologies, behavioral changes and vital issues, such as drug addiction. Victims, offenders and all those who judge, directly or indirectly, receive a careful analysis of their participation in legal processes and conflict situations, which is also extended to institutions of exclusion, through which people are separated from social life.

Differentiated approach receives the Human Rights theme; instigating interpretations are suggested and it is related to the presented theoretical instruments. Finally, the text presents a psychological view of different ways of dealing with conflicts (judgment, arbitration, conciliation and mediation).
