Reviews

‘Everyone involved in public policy should celebrate the publication of The Political Psyche.’ - The Guardian ‘A revolutionary book…challenging assumptions, uncovering the shameful and the hidden, introducing fresh new ideas and showing ordinary things from extraordinary angles…As topical today as it was twenty five years ago, shortly after the Gulf War.’ - Self & Society (Retro Review, 2014) ‘A first rate treatise on psychology and politics…a text well worth reading. Samuels’ brilliance as a theoretician, stylist and psychologist appears with great persuasiveness.’ - Political Psychology
