Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-21 00:00:00 Cherry Perez (for The Acct Of Enriqu This book consists of interviews with highly influential scientists and philosophers including Noam Chomsky, Hans Eysenck, R.D. Laing, and Philip Zimbardo. I really enjoyed the conversation between Zimbardo, former APA president, and Cohen, especially Zimbardo's response to Cohen's question regarding the idealism that surrounded the field post WWII: "After World War Two, psychologists were filled with enthusiasm for doing good and working internationally but they had to publish to get promoted or they'd perish so they became conservative and tentative and focused narrowly on projects that were readily doable and publishable. But it is changing now with the infusion of new female blood and brains. Women want a psychology filled with meaning overflowing with using knowledge for social good and dealing with the emergent problems facing nations worldwide and I believe that as psychology becomes more relevant with female psychologists leading the way we will return to the idealism that flourished after World War Two." He also discusses the Stanford Prison Experiment and his work on cults. It's a quick read, but a modern version is needed. It's clearly a bit outdated. I wonder what today's prominent psychologists have to say about the field.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-08-03 00:00:00 Lowa Knot This is a really fascinating book about the history of psychology and the potential future of psychology, centered around Maslow's theories. Colin Wilson leaves out a lot about human nature that might be pertinent to this discussion, but even considering only the ideas presented here by themselves, this book is highly worthwhile for anyone interested in methods for how to achieve higher states of consciousness and better mental health. Sadly, the future of psychological study predicted by the author has been derailed by the pharmaceutical industry and the tendency to pursue quick and inadequate solutions to mental health problems.
