      abstract = {In a society in which psychological knowledge is shaped as  much, if not more, by supermarket tabloids, talk shows, and  self-proclaimed "self-help gurus" as it is by the latest  scientific advances, here is a book that helps students and  the public distinguish fact from fiction in the world of  psychology. The authors use popular myths as a vehicle for  distinguishing science from pseudoscience. Organized around  key topic areas of modern psychology such as brain  functioning, perception, development, memory, emotion,  intelligence, learning, personality, mental illness, and  psychotherapy, this book will help students and laypersons  to critically evaluate the information and misinformation  that is generated by popular psychology.--From publisher  description.},
