Intelligence quotient, as a useful means of measuring brain capacity, has come increasingly into the public eye in recent years. This famous book (and its sequel "Check Your Own IQ") enables the reader to estimate and confirm his/her own IQ rating.

Freud's ideas have influenced almost every aspect of our lives, but have they been confirmed by experimental science? Did Freud say anything that was new or true? Has his influence been good or malign? To answer those questions, the author draws on his knowledge of recent psychological research and produces evidence indicating that we should now dismiss psychoanalysis as a pseudo-science. He explores the heroic myths Freud created about his own originality and the hostility he encountered - myths repeated to this day by credulous disciples. He argues that psychoanalysis, unlike behavioural therapy, is unsuccessful at curing neurotic patients and that Freudian theories about dream interpretation and the Oedipus complex, anal personalities and slips of the tongue, are, at best implausible.

In this sequel to "Know Your Own IQ", Eysenck responds to criticisms, providing five new tests of the standard type as a check. He also provides three specific tests which are designed to determine whether the reader shows more ability in verbal, numerical or visual-spatial terms.

Evans, Darrin

This book presents an introduction to the study of personality and indi vidual differences, but it is not a textbook in the usual sense. As we shall point out in some detail later, typically textbooks on personality and individual differences either deal with statistical and psychometric prob lems, methodology, and the technical issues of measurement, or else they present the different theories of personality associated with various authors such as Maslow, Cattell, Freud, Jung, Murray, Rogers, Rotter, or to whomever the various eponymous chapters may be dedicated. The the ories are presented, together with a brief mention of some empirical studies, but the student is not enlightened as to the weight to be given to the supporting evidence, nor is any comparison attempted between the different theories, formulating judgments regarding completeness, cri teria adopted, or validity in terms of experimental proof. It is small wonder that philosophers of science have concluded that the social sciences, unlike the "hard" sciences, suffer from the lack of a paradigm (Kuhn, 1970); this defect is more noticeable, perhaps, in the study of personality and individual differences than in any other part of psychology (except perhaps in clinical and abnormal psychology, where an equal lack of consensus rules).

It is often suggested that the incidence of cancer and coronary heart disease could be much reduced or even eliminated if only people would stop smoking cigarettes and eat fewer high-cholesterol foods. The evidence, however, shows that such views are simplistic and unrealistic and that, instead, cancer and CHD are the product of many risk factors acting synergistically. Psychosocial factors (stress, personality) are six times as predictive as smoking, cholesterol level or blood pressure and much more responsive to prophylactic treatment. This book admits that, while smoking is a risk factor for cancer and CHD, its effects have been exaggerated. A more realistic appraisal of a very complex chain of events incorporating many diverse factors is given, and appropriate action to prevent cancer and coronary heart disease is discussed.
