About

This website gives us the opportunity to extend each Complete Companion beyond the bounds of the book itself. We can add in some of the stuff we could not squeeze into the book and provide extra resources such as answers to the questions in the book. We can provide links to new research in psychology and exam developments. The Blog also enables us to have a dialogue with our readers. Altogether a great extension to the traditional textbook!
