Rezensionen

"Vividly picture, frame, and imagine an exploratory vivisection ofan entire human brain by 18 or so individuals from differentspecializations, research areas, and training levels doing talkingpoints as each cuts, cleans, rinses, exposes, or excises the aboveat will into 23 overlapping chunks. If you can mentally formulatethis image and want to know more, then PsychologicalAnthropology: A Reader on Self in Culture is a book for you."(PsycCritiques, December 2010)

"The best introduction currently available for the study ofpsychological experience and cultural contexts around the world,prepared by the leading psychological anthropologist in the fieldtoday."
