I think you're right not to buy it! It IS expensive, and also rather repetitive, as he puts all of his published articles for the last ten years into the chapters, and says the same thing over and over.. Still, he really is a unique synthesizer- someone who has read all of the neuroscience as well as the psychoanalytic literature. He showed one wonderful photo of a functional MRI- demonstrating how the amygdala lights up much LESS under stress after people have had therapy for panic disorder- compared to a group of controls on a clinic waiting list for therapy. I think we're going to be seeing a lot more stuff like this, and it's going to be really exciting! It's stunning to think that the effects of therapy will actually show up on an MRI, don't you think?
