superb work from one of the greatest psychologists alive

Rychlak demonstrates why he is one of the sharpest critical thinkers in psychology alive in this book. It is a fascinating read in which he explores various aspects of human consciousness. He takes us to places rarely visited by traditional thinkers (i.e. lucid dreaming). From this book you will learn why current modesl of psychology desperately fail at accurately describing the reality of human consciousness- and Rychlak then offers a cogent model that does exactly this.
