For example, the Stanford Prison experiment is described but there is basically no discussion of the criticisms of this study. The book provides accurate information for the most part but there are some areas where some of the more modern critiques of prior work aren't fully discussed. Overall though, the text provides a nice overview of the field. I do find some of the research methods material to be a bit lacking, so like to include some supplemental material with that section.

The book provides a chapter corresponding to the material of most major Psychology textbooks (with the added bonus of being a free resource).
