Rezensionen

'Metaphors simplify what is complex: that is why we use them in normal life, and that is why scientists use them. This book makes a powerful case for the ways in which the dominant metaphors in psychology today ensnare us and limit our possibilities. Bernard Guerin successfully shows us how to rethink psychology with a dynamic range of new metaphors.'
- Steven C. Hayes, Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno, USA

'In this indispensable book you will find provocative arguments and metaphors that will shake your beliefs about human action. Rather than providing answers, Bernard Guerin shows what kinds of questions are worth asking in order to advance our understanding of psychology.'
- Julio C. de Rose, Department of Psychology, Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil
