About the Book

Approaching conscious will as a topic of psychological study, Wegner examines the issue from a variety of angles. He looks at illusions of the will - those cases where people feel that they are willing an act that they are not doing or, conversely, are not willing an act that they in fact are doing. He explores conscious will in hypnosis, Ouija board spelling, automatic writing, and facilitated communication, as well as in such phenomena as spirit possession, dissociative identity disorder, and trance channeling.

About the Author :
The late Daniel M. Wegner was Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.

Review :
... Dr. Wegner's critique... is less philosophical than empirical, drawing heavily upon recent research in cognitive science and neurology. —John Horgan, The New York Times Fascinating... I recommend the book as a first-rate intellectual adventure. —Herbert Silverman, Science Books & Films ... very convincing. —David Wilson, American Scientist Wegner has finessed all the usual arguments into a remarkable demonstration of how psychology can sometimes transform philosophy.... [He] writes with humour and clarity. —Susan Blackmore, Times Literary Supplement Wegner is a terrific writer, sharing his encyclopedic purchase on the material in amusing, entertaining, and masterful ways. —David Brizer, M.D. , Psychiatric Services
