His widely-cited work (I count somewhere around 9,000 citations of his work in the scientific literature) has involved linking together findings from controlled laboratory studies, field studies of intense emotional life experiences (e.g., sport parachuting studies, and studies of strong emotional experiences in everyday life). Epstein addresses a multitude of implications of his theory, e.g. he describes how our experiential mind can ‘trick’ our rational mind into behaving in ways that are at odds with the goals we are striving to achieve. He also suggests ways that therapists might help clients learn to be less deceived by and more in control of the conflicts between the rational and the more emotionally driven parts of their mental lives. Epstein provides a convincing critique of Freudian psychoanalytic ideas while presenting a modern, evidence-based theory that helps account for the descriptive insights of Freudian thought with regard to topics such as the role of irrational behavior and unconscious factors in psychopathology. This book will be a source for new ideas in clinical and personality psychology that will be a touchstone for many future years of clinical work and research. Clinicians will find many useful strategies for work with a wide range of clients, including clients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, and schizophrenia. These strategies provide a level of depth that is often lacking in current cognitive and behavioral treatment methods and also provide ideas that have a more empirically-validated basis than do most humanistic and psychodynamic models. Epstein’s approach is a great example of an integrative approach to therapy that systematically brings together different therapy elements in a coherent model rather than the more narrowly defined approaches that have pitted the different therapy approaches against one another. In Epstein’s treatment model the integrative whole is greater than the sum of its parts, both in terms of the depth of analysis provided into the nature of psychopathology and in terms of the multitude of different therapeutic approaches that can be used in treatment. Researchers will find many fertile hypotheses in this book that relate to topics such as the role of irrationality in decision making, intra- and inter-personal conflict, coping with trauma, interactions among parallel thinking processes, constructive thinking and coping with stress, along with hypotheses related to understanding the nature of psychopathologies such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. A particularly positive feature of this book involves Epstein’s opening chapter where he describes in engaging detail the process of discovery that he went through in coming up with his theory. His curiosity and willingness to take on the most difficult topics are evident throughout this book. Too many psychologists have settled with studying what is easiest to study in a comfortable laboratory environment whereas Epstein has always been interested in studying what is most important while coming up with methods that allow for science to shed light on a wider range of emotionally meaningful topics such as trauma, depression, irrational elements of problem solving, and personality disorganization in schizophrenia. Few books in psychology provide the level of broad integration that is offered in this book. The reader will find a coherent model of personality, one that provides a way to understand the highest levels of adaptive or constructive thinking along with a way to understand the most destructive aspects of personality in psychopathology and in everyday life. This book describes a path of discovery that has evolved over several decades and that will influence the future of personality and clinical psychology for decades into the future. This book clearly and engagingly presents many complex and creative ideas. I found the writing to be lucid, compelling, and quite fascinating to read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.This is a very fine book.By Leo PawsThis is a very fine book - the best I've found in personality psychology for a very long time. It belongs with the classics. I especially recommend it to students and new researchers, and young clinicians.Have a look at Table 1.1: Comparison of Attributes of Rational and Experiential (i.e., associative/intuitive) Thinking. Each of the dual process theories around today, and there are quite a few, emphasizes but a small subset of the comprehensive perspective Epstein has been developing throughout his career and places in full context in this book. This one table is worth the price of the book. If you are young enough, it is a template you will use throughout your career. It is one of the most useful conceptual tools you will find.I initially took off one star because the book was not available in paperback. Paperback is now available so I've added the 5th star. Will be using the book in my UG seminar on personality this Spring.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful.Excellent book, should be part of undergrad and graduate psychology programs, and a great read.By SteveLong overdue for use by practicing clinicians as well as students of psychology, S. Epstein's book brings together his many scientific-clinical publications about the theory of two selves, dual information processing systems we each have and utilize. The self we all think ourselves to be, whether it's conceptualized as an ego, a teacher, a retiree, a sophomore, etc. it still mis-labels us. But, we are more than what we think ourselves to be. When our sleeping gets too cold, we don't come to full consciousness, think "Ohh, I'm too cold and uncomfortable to sleep like this so I need to find the covers and pull them up top my neck." We use our OTHER system, one that knows and just reach down and do the right thing. Remember Gladwell's "Blink," well the book is something like that but viewed through the rigor of an academic clinical psychologist's eyes. Each of our two systems, or two selves, seems prone to certain mistakes but each also has it's strong points. If you have felt, as I have, that something's been missing in the field, something important but as yet unexplained, reach for this book for your answers.See all 8 customer reviews...
