Other Minds
How Humans Bridge the Divide between Self and Others
How Humans Bridge the Divide between Self and Others
Edited by Bertram F. Malle and Sara D. Hodges
"The material in this volume should be a considerable interest to clinicians interested in matters pertaining to empathy, mentalization, projective identification, and countertransference effects."
-Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
"Stimulating and provocative and points to future developments."
-The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
"Once upon a time in psychology, other minds were a taboo topic. That's over now, and instead, the hot new topic is how people manage the trick of perceiving other minds-as well as understanding their own minds. This book brings together exciting current views of the process of mind perception from laboratories studying social, cognitive, developmental, and neuroscientific psychology."
-Daniel M. Wegner, PhD, Harvard University
"This excellent and timely volume displays a variety of perspectives on how people approach the 'problem of other minds,' both when mindreading is successfully accomplished and when efforts to do so fall short. Anyone who wants to better understand this subject would be well advised to read this book."
-Thomas D. Gilovich, PhD, Cornell University
"In the age of neo-behaviorism and social neuroscience, this volume shows that mind still matters....Like Fritz Heider before them, Malle, Hodges, and colleagues know that the study of folk psychology offers unique scientific opportunities. The advances in theory of mind, simulation theory, and empathy research, to name a few, reassure us that the day for the total reduction of psychology has not yet come."
