Review Quotes
PsycCRITIQUES
“Smith has managed to achieve what the reviewer took to be an almost impossible task: to write a single comprehensive volume on the history of psychology while at the same time acknowledging that (a) there are many histories of psychology, (b) there is no single coherent discipline of psychology, and (c) there were multiple developments in the formation of this discipline across the globe. . . . Deserves a place among the very best of our general histories of the discipline.”
Fortean Times
“Between Mind and Nature has clarity and a dry sparkle of humour. Smith’s rattling pace . . . consistently raises questions and invites discussion. It is the same story that any psychology student has heard before, with the same cast of characters and same scenery, but rendered a more interesting and vital drama by inclusion of all the meanderings and ends other histories choose to omit.”
