The New Laws of Psychology : Why Nature and Nurture Alone Can't Explain Human Behaviour by Peter Kinderman - New York : Constable & Robinson, 2014. - xxvii, 236 pages : ill. ; 22 cm.
This controversial new book describes how human behaviour - thoughts, emotions, actions and mental health - can be largely explained if we understand how people make sense of their world and how that framework of understanding has been learned. In this ground-breaking book, Peter Kinderman, presents a simple, but radical new model of mental well-being. Published following the publication of the new edition of the controversial, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the author challenges notions such as 'mental illness' and 'abnormal psychology' as old-fashioned, demeaning
