Extra Reading

As you all know, if you are aiming for the top grades at Advanced Level you should read around the subject.  I know this is hard as there is so much on the internet that is unreliable, however, if you follow me at PensbyPsycho on Twitter I often tweet links to articles that extend the work we have done/ will be doing in class.  The links below are two examples of this:

For AS students an article in the New York Times showing support for Freud's notion of reaction formation - it discusses the idea that homophobic people actually may have homosexual tendencies.

For AS students, the full text version of Freud's Little Hans study.  An interesting read!

For A2 students an article in the Guardian about the infamous R.D Laing and his 'experimental' method for treating people with mental illness.

Remember reading around the subject increases your understanding of the topics we cover in class.  The more you understand something, the better you will be able to explain it in the exam!
