The Psychopathology of Language and Cognition

1 review

Springer, 1995

Psychopathology of publishing
This must be less a review than an all points alert. Rieber and Vetter's The Psychopathology of Language and Cognition is a book to be shot on sight. It should be removed from any library that holds it, and you may also wish to take the extra time to write a strong letter of rebuke to the publisher for issuing it. To make my position clear, I am not here advocating censorship of ...

Springer, 2006

Fascinating Overview, but . . .
This is a SUPERB and necessary overview of the case histories and theoretical work on (so-called?) "Multiple Personality Disorder." And if you didn't have doubts about the validity of this fascinating and much-abused diagnosis before reading this book, you'll definitely have them afterward. The inside details and tape transcripts pertaining to the "Sybil" case by themselves are worth the ...
