Mind Games Determination, Doubt and Lucky Socks: An Insider's Guide to the Psychology of Elite Athletes By Annie Vernon Review by Finn Janning on Tue, Jul 16th 2019.
	For some, sports is a field with very little on the mind. For others, it's completely different. Annie Vernon, a former Olympic rower and now a sports journalist, has written a book about what takes place between the ears of elite athletes. Called Mind Games, it has a clear premise: "Everyone has the physical tools—it's the mental tools that separate the good from the great." The book is not a practical guide on how to train or toughen your mind, nor is it an academic contribution to the field of sport psychology. Instead, it is like being inside a locker room, full of anecdotes f Click here to read the full review!

Bowen Theory's Secrets Revealing the Hidden Life of Families By Michael E. Kerr Review by Roy Sugarman, PhD on Tue, Jun 18th 2019.
Most of us trained in the late 70's and early 80's would have encountered General Systems Theory and the Family Therapy movement that emerged, partly as a reflex response to the individual focus on pathology begun by Freud. Some, like myself, wrote critiques in our Master's theses of the idea of Freudian biological determinism from the family therapy perspective, or even from the Feminist view in my case. Family therapy saw the patient as a presenting patient, presenting the family or systemic pathology to the public eye, as an identified patient rather than a person with purely intrapsychic i Click here to read the full review!

Promoting Healthy Attachments Hands-on Techniques to Use with Your Clients By Deborah D. Gray Review by Roy Sugarman PhD on Tue, May 7th 2019.
	As you will note from the title, this book is designed for psychologists and the like for use with their clients, rather than beginners who might be interested in Thomas Bowlby or babies sequestrated in hospital wards away from mum. As the blurb in the cover mentions, there is a lot of theory around attachment, including Suomi's continuing studies on monkeys and their ability to separate comfortably from the maternal guardians of the herd. Those that cannot tend to be those whose maternal history includes anxiety on separation, and thus do not venture far from the grazing parent, until placed Click here to read the full review!

Knowing Emotions Truthfulness and Recognition in Affective Experience By Rick Anthony Furtak Review by Robert Zaborowski on Tue, May 7th 2019.
This is a nicely produced book (although the referencing is not always consistent), with an over 30-page bibliography, clearly structured in three parts, seven chapters, all pleasant to read. The first part is mainly polemical, the second is an attempt at repairing the current views, while the third, as long as the first and second taken together, contains more of Furtak's personal voice. In the first part (ch. 1 and 2) Furtak makes an effort to show that the traditional opposition between the rational and the passionate is misleading. It is wrong to consider rationality alone as trust Click here to read the full review!

Understanding the Brain From Cells to Behavior to Cognition By John E. Dowling Review by Roy Sugarman, PhD on Tue, Apr 30th 2019.
	Emanating from the Harvard seminar entitled The Amazing Brain, this book begins with the general organization of the brain, then how these collections of cells talk to each other, and then moves on to how the various aspects of brain function come together to form our conscious experience, our minds. Hence the title is followed in chapter one with discussions on the unique cellular structure of the brain, and how it develops. Moving on to chapter two, how the brain signals via the mechanisms of neurotransmission at the synaptic level are elucidated, as neurons have a unique (and new findings Click here to read the full review!

EMDR Therapy and Somatic Psychology Interventions to Enhance Embodiment in Trauma Treatment By Arielle Schwartz and Barb Maiberger Review by Roy Sugarman, PhD on Tue, Mar 19th 2019.
EMDR has been around for a long time now, and although initially it had its critics, ("what works is not new, and what is new doesn't work"), it nevertheless has acquired an evidence base and hence credibility as a first-line treatment for PTSD and other conditions. Somatic therapy has been around in various guises for some time and involves bringing the body into an otherwise talking-cure dominated field. Given Damasio's and others work around somatic markers, and the understanding, over time, that emotions are physiological entities, as opposed to feelings, which are more mentation-experienc Click here to read the full review!

Self-Consciousness and 'Split' Brains The Mind's I By Elizabeth Schechter Review by Kamuran Elbeyoğlu on Tue, Feb 5th 2019.
	The nature of the person is one of the most discussed and most controversial issues in modern philosophy and also recently, in psychology. The phenomenon of split brain cases presents a puzzle for our understanding and thinking about what it is to be a person, for in such cases we are not sure whether only one person or two distinct persons associated with each one of the hemispheres, exist in one body. Split-brain surgeries involve a complete or partial section of the corpus callosum and consequently divides all direct links between the hemispheres in order to cure epileptic seizures in 1960' Click here to read the full review!

The Routledge Handbook of Consciousness By Rocco J. Gennaro (Editor) Review by R.A. Goodrich, Ph.D. on Thu, Dec 20th 2018.
Rocco Gennaro's Routledge Handbook of Consciousness aims to "introduce the uninitiated," be they researchers or senior tertiary students, to "cutting-edge interdisciplinary work" with the simultaneous goal of making its "philosophical import understandable" (1). It is this emphasis, Gennaro claims, that makes this collection of essays distinct from competing anthologies and monographs operating at the intersection of Psychological Philosophy with Cognitive and Neurological Psychology. Twelve such rivals are nominated, ranging from the 1997 anthology edited by Ned Block, Owen Flanagan Click here to read the full review!
