(1) As a beginner in the field of psychology, I suggest to know what psychology is first. Therefore, it is recommended to read the relevant psychological history.

Merton Hunt's Story of Psychology-Origin and Evolution (Hainan Publishing House) is recommended. This book is more like a story book and easy to read.

If you want to read a book with a more formal title, you can read Introduction to the History of Psychology, written by Hegenhan, translated by Guo Benyu, and published by East China Normal University Press.

If you are patriotic and want to read domestic books, you can read YeHaoSheng's General History of Psychology, Beijing Normal University Press. However, domestic books are generally crooked, so I strongly recommend The Story of Psychology.

If you want to go deeper, you can read Three Kinds of Psychology (Nai, China Light Industry Press) and The Evolution of Psychological Thought (Zhang Chunxing, Shanghai Education Press).

In addition, I strongly recommend a very special little book, Psychology Different from "Many"-How to Face Psychology, translated by Keith E. Stannow, Zhao Fan and Zou Zhimin, China Light Industry Press, which tells why psychology is a science and can eliminate some misunderstandings about psychology.

(2) Then, if you want to have a general understanding of the topic, you need to read books on general psychology.

One of the most famous forums is Psychology and Life, written by Gerrig)& Zimbardo. The Chinese version (No.16) is published by People's Posts and Telecommunications Publishing House, and the English version (No.17) is published by Peking University Publishing House. It is said that the translation of Chinese version is a bit of a headache. If you pass the English test, you can try reading the English version.

If you want a manual, I recommend General Psychology written by Peng Yuling, a teacher from Shenshu Beijing Normal University Press. The concept code is very neat ~

In addition, I recommend Zhang Chunxing's Modern Psychology-The Science of Modern People Studying Their Problems, written by tw, which is very close to China people. Shanghai People's Publishing House and Taobao don't have it, but there is an electronic version online.

If you still want to read something written by mainlanders, there are "Introduction to Psychology" by People's Education Press and "General Psychology" by Meng (Peking University Press).

(3) With a general understanding, we should understand the research methods of psychology.

First, experimental psychology.

Introductory recommendation "Forty Studies in Change Psychology", translated by Hawke and Bai, China Light Industry Press, this book is very good, interesting and informative. I read the English version when our tutor recommended it, but the English version was revised, so a study in the Chinese version was rejected by other studies, and the English version was also published by China Light Industry Press.

Then, if you want to study further, I recommend reading Experimental Psychology-Introduction through Examples, Solso &; Translated by McLean and Zhang Qi. (China Light Industry Press), this book has begun to involve variable control, teaching readers how to do experiments.

If you want to go deeper, you can look at professional experimental psychology, such as Yang Zhiliang's Experimental Psychology (Zhejiang Education Press) and Zhu Ying's Experimental Psychology (Peking University Press).

B, evaluation category. Most fans prefer to watch psychological tests.

The most common test compilation is the Manual of Mental Health Rating Scale, edited by Wang Xiangdong, Wang Xilin and Ma Hong, and published by China Mental Health Magazine Press. Personally, I prefer the survey of personality and social psychology, Robinson, Shaver &；; Editor-in-chief of Letterman, translated by Yang Yiyin, Zhang Xuezhi and Peng Siqing, published by Liu Yuan Publishing Company.

Examinations can be used for recreation. If you really want to use it, you must not use it indiscriminately. You must read in-depth books first, such as Psychometrics (Zheng Richang, People's Education Press) and Psychological and Educational Measurement (Dai Haiqi, Jinan University Press). If you don't understand the principle and application method of the test, and don't understand the reliability, validity and score explanation, the abuse of the test is likely to have adverse consequences. In principle, non-psychological professionals are forbidden to use psychological tests. ...

C, statistics. If you are not a professional researcher, you can skip this. Statistics of Modern Psychology and Education (Beijing Normal University Press, Zhang Houcan), Statistics of Education and Psychology (People's Education, Zhang Minqiang), etc. If you can understand it, you have reached the undergraduate level.

(4) Next, the bibliography of each branch is introduced. Only pick the ones that have a big relationship with us.

A, social psychological halo effect, bystander effect, attribution bias, etc. All of them are studied by this branch, including the Stockholm syndrome of the Luoyang anger case ... Beginners can read the Social Psychology by Hou Yubo, Peking University, and recommend Aronson and Wilson &; Ackert's Social Psychology, translated by Hou Yubo, China Light Industry Press.

B, developmental psychology, why do we become us? This branch explains the psychological development of individuals from embryo to death. If you want to get started, you can look at Lin Chongde's Developmental Psychology (People's Education Edition and Zhejiang Education Edition have the same content, but Zhejiang Education Edition is much more expensive). If you go deeper, you can look at some foreign works, such as the translation of Developmental Psychology-Children and Teenagers, Light Industry and Zou Hong.

C. Why are there thousands of people in personality psychology? Individual differences are largely personality differences, as well as Freud, Eriksson and Maslow. All these attempt to explain the formation and/or structure of personality. Recommended "Personality Psychology" (Berg, Huichang Chen et al., Light Industry Press), Personality Psychology (Huang Xiting, Zhejiang Education Edition). If you want to know more about it, you can look at the famous monographs in this field and introduce them later.

D, cognitive psychology This direction introduces the cognitive process, which may be a bit boring. You can look at Cognitive Psychology edited by Wang Su and Wang Sheng 'an in Peking University and Robert Jeffrey Sternberg in light industry. Skip what you don't understand.

F, abnormal psychology and counseling. Perhaps this part is the psychology in most people's minds.

You can read The Feeling of Ascension (Yue Xiaodong, Shanghai People's Publishing House) as an introduction and look at the case. You can't learn psychological counseling by reading, so you have to go to the consulting room for an internship.

If you want to go deeper, you can look at Wang Jianping's Abnormal Psychology in Higher Education. The 24-fold Personality recommended by some students is also about abnormal psychology. Xi, Shanghai Translation Publishing House, on multiple personality disorders. Be careful, many people will feel that they have psychological problems after reading such books, but most of them are fine, just like reading medical books, they will feel sick ... Don't feel that you have problems just because you meet one condition of a certain problem, which requires you to meet 10 conditions! You are normal!

You can also read the Training Textbook for Psychological Counselors, which is a compilation, but there are some mistakes in this textbook. Be careful not to be misled. It is best to read more psychological bibliography and read it after you have the ability to distinguish.

If you have perseverance, spirit and unique taste, you can read DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) and download it online.

(5) New trend in the new century: positive psychology. Psychologists such as seligman and Csikzentmihalyi believe that we should not only study people's psychological defects, but also study the positive forces that promote human happiness.

As an understanding, you can read Harvard Happiness Course (Dan Gilbert, CITIC Publishing House) and Real Happiness (seligman, Wanjuan Publishing Company).

In-depth, you can see "Positive Psychology" by China Light Industry Press (Karl, Zheng Xue, etc. ).

(6) Other books: You can read Adler's Beyond Inferiority (multi-version), Fromm's The Art of Escape from Freedom and Love (multi-version), Frank's The Meaning of Living, Maslow's The Self-Realizing Man, etc. There are many famous books. Find something you like to read. In addition, Xu Haoyuan's "We all have psychological scars" (China Youth Publishing House), "When Nietzsche Crys" (Yalom, multi-version), "Emotional Analysis" (Aikman, Nanhai Publishing Company) and many other books can be read, so you need to find them yourself ~ this part may be more books read by enthusiasts. After all, reading theoretical books needs to be digested and absorbed by yourself.
