Psychologies

I buy Psychologies from time to time, mainly out of curiosity but also as I get fed up with all the celebrities in magazines and just want to read something real. Its current price is £3.30 and its sold at all major news agents and some of the smaller ones. It comes in the A4 paged size and the smaller handbag size of A5 for the same price. There are roughly 175 to 200 pages, and roughly about 20% are adverts. I bought their first issue, some years ago and was pleased I did at the time. It gave many bite of pop psychology- you know, the mini articles about girls over achieving against boys in certain subjects, nothing really new, but just references and tests ...  Read the complete review

Psychologies is a monthly magazine concentrating on our personalities, behaviour and the way we behave. Its available from most good newsagents or via Subscription, for one issue it costs £3.30 and for subscription there are great offers if you go via Quidco or topcashback and you will receive £6 cash as well as a discount on your subscription. The magazine is interesting but also a bit mundane, it offeers advice on relationships, emotions, how to better oneself and how to deal with the stress and strain of modern life. The writing unfortunately isn't particularly exciting, while it advises ways to be happy or ways to spend less money, these are ...  Read the complete review

Psychologies although undoubtedly aimed at women is a magazine that can be equally enjoyed by either sex. My fiance sometimes reads it before I get the chance and we often talk about the issues raised. The first time I read it I was attracted to the fact that the articles encourage mental self-exploration, explore complex psychological theories in an easy to understand way without dumbing down and there is not a vast array of adverts interspersed with a few articles. I have often found womens magazines a bit lacking in substance, enjoying some articles but getting cross by the constant focus of striving for physical perfection or ensaring men. I was pleased ...  Read the complete review

I have spent quite a bit of time in hospital over the past few years and have read just about every womans magazine there is.I would say Psychologies is a little different to most with perhaps more meat on its bones. After reading several copies I decided to subscribe and have kept my subscription past the initial 12 months. ***** The magazine ***** A glossy magazine available in two sizes the standard A4 and a smaller A5 size. The A5 size is designed to 'fit in your handbag'. I personally still get the A4 size as I often read it in bed and find it easier to manage but it is personal preference and you do have a choice. The magazine is ...  Read the complete review

Psychologies is a higher form of pop-psychology. To me, it cuts the crap and technicalities, because sometimes life is that simple. It doesn't cover the more extreme nor severe cases of psychiatry and psychology, primarily because the vast majority of people do not have those problems - by definition that is why they are extreme. To me, it builds a wider understanding of general emotional and mental health and disorders. It's great for learning terminology so things can be discussed. It helps us to understand ourselves. It can be a giant relief for those who have issues that aren't severe enough to seek professional help. For those stuck in-between ...  Read the complete review
