A Beginner's Psychology

"A Beginner's Psychology" by Edward Bradford Titchener is an early 20th-century guide introducing newcomers to the field of psychology. It highlights the necessity of a scientific approach, distinct from everyday thinking, and stresses the value of careful observation in understanding mental processes. Titchener clarifies the distinction between scientific inquiry and common values, emphasizing psychology's focus on objective facts. The aim is to lay the groundwork for a systematic exploration of psychology, getting readers ready for the theories and methods covered later on.
