About this title

About the Authors

Cara Flanagan is one of the best-known and most respected authors for A Level Psychology. A practised teacher with examining experience and a well-known conference presenter, Cara is renowned for creating resources that students love to use.

Rob was a gifted and inspirational A level teacher for more than 20 years, including Head of Psychology at KGV College in Southport. He 'retired' early to take up a new career in writing books for A level Psychology, joining our close-knit team who produce books for Psychology A level, GCSE and BTEC. In fact, he was central to that team because he had a real flair for writing, wrote prodigiously, and was also a brilliant researcher and reviewer. Sadly he died, quite suddenly, in 2023. He is greatly missed by us all, both personally and professionally.

Matt is a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. He taught psychology for 25 years and currently works in digital learning and AI for a leading university. Matt is also an editor of Psychology Review. When not working or writing, Matt DJs and loves walking in nature, antiques and a good mosh pit.
