Psychology Today Magazine

Pros: Breezy Contemporary Writing, Clean Layout & Design

Cons: Magazine Skewed Too Heavily To Female Audience

The Bottom Line: Ratio of Male to Female Writers Could Improve, I Heartily Recommend Reading Psychology Today.

Review: I think it's pretty safe to say that I am probably not the target demographic that Psychology Today has in mind. Most of the issues for this pop psych magazine feature women on the covers. Ostensibly, you ...

Pros: Very Informative

Cons: Only comes 6 times a year

Review: Since I am a late bloomer in the college field and my major is Psychology, I thought I would check out this magazine, Psychology Today. I find it to be rather enlightening. The articles really catch my eye and are very interesting.

Psychology...

Pros: Helps you to understand yourself

Cons: None

Review: Psychology today, in a few words is very helpful and educational. You will learn about yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, behaviours and how they all come together in ENGLISH TERMS.
It isn't hard reading, it isn't reading you need to go to...

Pros: Simplifies trade's jargon and complex research results, easy to read, relevant to everyone's needs

Cons: Would like to see more life-based articles

Review: A good friend of mine invited me to help her work on an important paper she had to present to her psychology class the next week. She showed me her photocopies of articles. However, an article remained engraved in my memories up to this day....

Pros: the articles relate to real people issues and not just health issues

Cons: still contains some ads

Review: As a senior in college, majoring in psychology, I have found this magazine most beneficial to my studies. Though i don't plan to go into a psych related career the articles are really interesting. They don't focus on boring things, but rather studies for...

Pros: Good, thought- provoking articles

Cons: Too brief; Published only once every two months

The Bottom Line: This magazine is a good one, but it's a little short and there is a long wait between issues.

Review: Do you like to read about behavioral sciences and learn why people think and act the way they do? If so, then you might enjoy Psychology Today, a magazine about the social science that attempts to study human behavior and looks for relationships ...

Pros: Coverage of new developments

Cons: Very surface and non-challenging.

Review: Too often the value of a magazine or book is located in the material they choose to cover rather than the quality of writing, or depth of analysis that a publication covers. For example, would you want to read a medical textbook from the 1900's even if...

Pros: diverse articles, interviews with the greats in the field

Cons: not enough application of theories

Review: I look forward to every issue of Psychology today. This is a great magazine if you enjoy learning about the human mind. Now if you are a professional in the field then this probably isn't the magazine for you, but if you are a professional then you...

Pros: One of the few general audience oriented publications devoted to accurate and useful information on psychology.

Cons: Would like to see more on current brain research, the why as well as the how and what.

Review: When I first read Psychology Today years ago, it was a serious publication and rather heavy reading. Recently, it was a bit light-weight, another mouthpiece for pop psychology. In 1999, the new editor, Robert Epstein, announced his intention to return...

Pros: Topical and timely subject matter

Cons: Hit and miss writing, ad inserts

Review: Psychology Today may not be the best magazine available covering this subject matter, but for the lay person, such as myself, it seems to do a fair job. I think the subscription is slightly expensive for what you get, and I subscribe to a lot of magazine...
