[Elita ₊✩ˎˊ˗ · Rating 4 out of 5]

There was some really fascinating information in here. The only issue I had was that some of the vocabulary terms had confusing definitions. However, examples were provided for a bunch of the terms, which cleared up any confusion I had. Overall, a great read, especially if you're interesting in psychology :)
