I use Matlin and Foley. I have used others, but my students had a really
tough time understanding the material in the other texts (particularly
Coren, Ward, & Enns). I have also used Goldstein (in fact, that is the book
that I was taught from) and it is a good book as well.
What I would really like is for someone to write one that has a heavier
amount of applied topics - or, maybe include it as an end-of-the-chapter
supplement (the way that Goldstein has end of the chapter material in his
books). I have found myself focusing more and more on how students can use
this material in their lives. Anyone know of a book like that?
