Summary: GREAT
Comment: Psychology Today is a great magazine. Even my sister, a clinical psychologist, agrees - a woman who isn't too interested in spirituality but quite enjoys provocative views and sharp comments.

Summary: Easy reading for those interested in psychology
Comment: I'm not a psychology student, and at this time, I don't plan on becoming one. For now, I'm a 25-year-old with a history of depression and OCD and I consider myself a bit of an autodidact. I have taken a few psychology classes in the past and I've also been known to read psych textbooks for "fun".
Psychology Today is certainly not a textbook and it's definitely made to appeal to Average Joe, which I think it does wonderfully. The articles are informative and interesting, but not too in depth. For me, it's a good way to find out about new ideas and then go and look up more information if I so desire.
If you're looking for a textbook, visit your local collegiate bookstore. If you're looking for an easy-reading source for good information to serve as a stepping stone to further studies, Psychology Today is a great place to start.

Summary: Mundane Psychology
Comment: At first i was excited to find a magazine devoted to the interesting field of psychology, unfortunately, i ordered a subscription of Psychology Today, before i found Scientific American Mind.
Psychology Today is a pop-magazine with much emphasis on day-to-day selfconfidence struggles. Some of the information presented is worth reading, but it's just not worthy of bearing it's name in that it portrays psychology as something superficial, and as if it were an exercise in highschool conversation; discussing why one person is more popular than the other.
It's a mundane, practical how-to magazine without much depth.

Summary: A Great MAGAZINE (emphasis on Magazine)
Comment: Ordering this magazine thinking that you'll end up with volumes of information that you would find in textbooks is going to leave you upset. This is a magazine and, as someone who has studied in the area of journalism, I understand completely why they produce the articles they do and why it upsets 'serious' psychologists. It's very much Pop Psychology. It's light, fun, and informative to anyone without degrees in the field. It's very much a self-help/improvement magazine and, like all such magazines, you must take every ounce of advice with a grain of salt. An article about introversion really helped me improve my self-image and understand why I live the way I do and how to maintain a healthy balance. It does cover the recent psychology 'gossip' but this coverage is no different than the coverage of new scientists and their untested hypotheses.

Summary: a magazine best suited for people who have not studied psychology
Comment: Psychology Today is truly a magazine for persons who want some information about psychology without going to school and studying psychology. Therefore, there are going to be two mindsets about this magazine: The psychology students and professionals will think this too fluffy and stuffed with ads; and the everyday man on the street will say, "Wow! That was a pretty good article. I learned something."
My own experience is similar to the gentleman who purchased a three year subscription to Psychology Today and then wound up tossing it away more and more as his formal studies gave him an in depth education of psychology and how it is used. I loved this magazine when I was a teenager planning to work with people to help them solve their problems. However, these days as someone who has a master's in social work I would probably not get much out of the magazine.
The ads are certainly numerous and you get the feeling that Psychology Today wedges in just enough articles to keep subscribers interested while selling ad space to make big bucks. That's a shame.
Overall, this magazine is best suited for the everyday man on the street who has not studied psychology and who does not plan on studying psychology. These people will get a lot more out of their subscriptions to this magazine. I recommend this for the layman while students of psychology at the college or postgraduate level would do well to skip this one.
Three stars.
