Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Identifying linear time as an assumption of psychology that unduly restricts both theory and therapy, the author shows how its dominance creates anomalies in several psychological specialties. He contends that these unnoticed anomalies point to alternative conceptions of time that offer innovative ideas for psychological explanation and treatment. Paper edition (unseen), $16.95.
