One great way to get started is to buy out of date textbooks they are dirt cheap because no one will use the old ones for classes but might only be a few years out if date....the theories do change but not so much you can't learn from an older book. I used to get these at Barnes and noble...for me it was chemistry but as long as you're not buying stuff from the 70s I would think you'd be ok for psych...
