Industry Reviews

"The purpose is to attempt to bridge the gap between objectivity in regards to neuroscience and the subjectivity of the self via clinical phenomena. ... The targeted audience includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists. ... This is a scholarly book, and each chapter ends with citations of the relevant scientific literature." (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
