"...fascinating as well as invaluable for those who wish to better understand the thinking of the premier clinical scientist of the second half of the 20th century....it should be of considerable interest to clinical psychology researchers, teachers, practitioners, and students, not to mention historians of psychology." -Scott O. Lilienfeld, Ph.D. Emory University
"I absolutely loved it!...As an historical document it is absolutely fascinating. Peterson is also an unusually talented writer--in summary it's a damn good read."-Niels Waller, Ph.D. Vanderbilt University
