About the Series
The science of psychology has continued to grow exponentially over the last century. Unfortunately, pseudoscience in psychology has grown at an even faster pace, and yet very few texts have a primary emphasis on pseudoscience, fringe science, or other controversial topics in psychology.
The Investigating Psychology Pseudoscience series offers a fresh look into topics that have commonly been characterized as pseudoscience. The series considers early research while also incorporating the latest investigations into controversial topics. Scientific investigations into the fringe aspects of psychology can often reveal scientific principles, identify alternative explanations, and highlight the many ways the human brain can be deceived. These books are designed to help students, academics, professionals, and everyone else consider the full range of investigations that contribute to psychological science, pseudoscience, and everything in between.
