Hans Eysenck is one of the world's leading psychologists and
undoubtedly the most controversial. Throughout a long and
illustrious career his work on personality and intelligence has
aroused impassioned debate and attacks, both verbal and physical,
on Eysenck himself. In his compelling and absorbing autobiography,
Eysenck recounts in some detail the battles he had to fight in
order to establish his major conclusions, as well as the reasons
why he investigated these subjects. He also discusses his work on
such topics as the health hazards of smoking, the prophylactic
effects of behavior therapy on cancer and coronary heart disease,
parapsychology, astrology, and other matters.
In a new foreword, written for this edition, Eysenck expresses
his pleasure regarding the fact that his autobiography is now being
published in the United States. He discusses how much of his
scientific life has been bound up with American psychology. Also
new to this American edition is a chapter titled "Genius,
Creativity, and Vitamins," in which Eysenck talks about the
research he has worked on since his retirement in 1983. Rebel with
a Cause is an intriguing autobiography and will be of paramount
interest to psychologists, sociologists, and genetic
scientists.
