Reviews'Setting up an encounter between the histories of science fiction and psychology might portend a collision of alienworlds. Instead, Gavin Miller's Science Fiction and Psychology constructs a reflexive dialogue, which results in aunique synthesis of these two cultures.'
David C. Devonis, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences

'Miller's work stays focused on the core argument, with no chance of descending into minutiae, errata, or apocrypha. This structure is a reflection of the careful and insightful scholarship Miller brings to bear on the subject. I highly recommend it for any waihang interested in a deeper understanding of the relationship between science fiction and the science of the mind.'
Nathaniel Isaacson, Science Fiction Studies
'Indeed, Miller's book "wittingly or unwittingly" encourages a well-deserved shift in attention to marginalized science fictions and sciences.'
Sydney Lane, Journal of Science Fiction
'Gavin Miller's Science Fiction and Psychology is a fantastic foundation for science fiction scholars to further explore the relevance of psychological novum in science fiction, and I have no doubt scholars working in other interdisciplinary fields would also appreciate understanding the "cultural traffic between the two territories" (242) which have shaped the 20th century and continue to affect our current understanding of the human mind and its relationship to its environment.'
Beata Gubacsi, The Polyphony
'Science Fiction and Psychology is a rich, densely-argued study in how science fiction and psychology overlap... [It] is incredibly detailed and painstakingly outlined in its aims and goals, which is to initiate an inquiry into the fruitful intersection of science fiction and psychology.'
Sue Smith, SFRA
