Psychology textbooks

The textbooks psychology students start with: introductory psychology, theories of personality, abnormal psychology. They also work for a practicing therapist who wants to refresh the basics.

How we build the shelves

An English edition for every book

We matched each edition against its Amazon.com listing: title, author and, for print editions, ISBN. The descriptions are ours: what the book covers and when it helps in practice.

Place = number of recommendations

For now the order of the shelf is editorial. Later a book's place will depend on how many professional sources recommend it: training programs, association reading lists and university courses.

Next: therapists' votes

Therapists in Sessio will be able to mark the books that help in their practice. One account, one vote.

An assistant for your practice. Sessio takes care of your notes, client history, schedule and website.
