Psychology means the study of the soul; it is the social science
concerned with investigating who we are, why we have certain
feelings, and why we do the things we do. Are we no more than a
vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules? Is
biology (our genetic inheritance) destiny, or does social
upbringing play a crucial role? What are the roles played by Nature
and by Nurture? Are we purely physical beings, or is there an
aspect that can be called spiritual? This thought-provoking novel
takes you on a journey of intellectual and emotional exploration,
considering along the way questions that we've all asked ourselves,
such as: Is it true that we only use 10% of our brains? Does
playing classical music for infants increase their intelligence? Do
crime rates go up during a full moon? Can hypnosis, or
post-hypnotic suggestions, make us do something we wouldn't
normally do? Does subliminal advertising influence us to buy
products? Are our memories stored indelibly, almost like a tape
recorder? What causes memory lapses as we age? Can repressed
traumatic memories be recovered through hypnosis? Do some people
have multiple personalities? How can I tell if someone has a
neurosis, or a psychosis? Do men have an inner feminine side, and
women an inner masculine? Are there innate psychological
differences between males and females? The four main characters in
this book will guide you through a diverse and sometimes
bewildering world of differing approaches to answering such
questions, such as Freudian, Jungian, and Adlerian; Humanistic,
Existential, and Transpersonal; as well as Cognitive, Emotive, and
Behaviorist. Along the way you will learn about the developmental
stages proposed by psychologists such as Erikson, Kohlberg, Piaget,
and Fowler, and even explore some of the questions currently being
asked by both neuroscientists, and philosophers of the mind. Start
reading, to begin your study of our innermost selves...
