This month's The Psychologist has a brilliant interview with Frederick Toates (click here to open in new window):
Advantages in reading this now are:
He talks sense about the role of biology and psychology, understanding for us some of the silliest turf wars between different 'schools' of psychology - or (but I'm wicked) different 'narrow minds' in psychology.
He outlines his own contribution to material on Addiction - on wanting & liking - current NOW (p. 66).
He talks about his own perspective as an 'expert-by-experience' as a person combatting OCD (about which he has written a mixed self-help / academic book).
He mentions Skinner and Freud in the same sentence WITHOUT disparaging either.
He extends 'wanting and like' neuropsychology to the study of sex and talks of his recent book.
He talks about his hopes and fears for universities (and the OU).
Hailing Frederick Toates of the OU
