Joseph R. Novello

Paulist Press, 2001

Spiritual Psychiatry
I am typically not a big fan of self-help type books but I must say that I truly enjoyed reading Dr. Novello's account of the "spiritual" side of psychiatry. This book is written for everyone - whether professional or lay person in a style that is easy to read and yet challenging enough to keep one's interest. His review of the theories on the influence of "lifetraps" in people's behavior are ...

Jerome Kagan

Harvard University Press, 2002

Positive statement of Kagan's view of mind
If you've read a significant amount of Jerome Kagan's work, the ideas here will not be new to you; but the form of exposition will. This book is basically a statement of Kagan's theory of mind, and of how psychology ought to be pursuing research into mind. While this theory has appeared in bits and pieces in connection with his research on temperament and child development, and especially in his ...

Beyond The Conscious Mind: UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE SELF

4 reviews
THOMAS BLAKESLEE

Plenum Press, 1996

Enriching, Accessible and Thought-Provoking
Our beliefs may be false (a revelation which had a profound impact on me) and the accuracy of our powers of introspection may be suspect, but our emotions are logical (!) and we can think and communicate non-verbally, not to mention the creative powers we have left untapped. I wish this had been the textbook for my high school psychology class. Right from page 1 the author has his work cut ...

The authors suggest that schemas can be thought of as powerful lenses that affect every important part of life. I had previously known of the schema concept, but was impressed by the clarity of the presentation and the case examples that brought the notions ...

We shall not survive, either as individuals or as a species, if our maps fail to reflect accurately the nature of the world that surrounds us. The ...
