Rezensionen

'This book is outstanding for the wide ranging and deeply penetrating psychological research and theory...' - Dr John Price, Open University

'By any standards this is a major piece of work... as a clinical psychologist... I am impressed and excited by this book, and have rarely read a book that has left such an impression on me.' - Dr Peter Trower, University of Leicester

'Dr Gilbert orients us to things both that we know and that we need yet to learn, improves our rationale for a variety of our procedures, and directs and gives purpose not only to our direct clinical work but to our reading and our collection of new information. Reading this book will acquaint one with an exciting "meaning-making" experience.' - Professor Russell Gardner Jr, University of Texas

'Any book which attempts to bring together the ideas of Jung, ethology, sociobiology, psychobiology, and cognitive approaches, while still retaining considerable respect for psychoanalysis (and its recent offshoots), learning theory, and existentialism is bound to leave many readers gasping for breath ... Gilbert's approach is highly compatible with the conception of evolution as a process whereby specific mechanisms evolve in order to solve specific problems ... Gilbert has written a wide-ranging and thoughtful book ... ... professionals from a variety of orientations will find it a provocative and informative book.' - Contemporary Psychology, 1990, Vol. 35, No. 11 reviewed by Kevin MacDonald.
