 Psychology Today... December 14, 2008
I just got my first issue of this magazine, and I am really pleased with it. It's got quite a few good articles, and small notes that get you thinking. I would recommend it.
 GREAT August 21, 2008
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.

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.
Mundane Psychology January 29, 2008

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.
A Great MAGAZINE (emphasis on Magazine) January 18, 2008

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.
