Activity will interest scientists doing research in
psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, human
biology/anthropology, linguistics, and neuroscience. Professors,
lecturers, and instructors will find it important as a class text
in these fields. And the book's clinical implications make it
useful to practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, and
