Abstract

'Inhibition' is a commonplace term in the sciences, psychology and psychotherapy. This important book writes the history of inhibition to integrate the natural sciences of the brain with the surrounding society. It is a scholarly history of the way in which inhibition helps us to conceive what it is to be human. Roger Smith constructs an absorbing and original history of our view of ourselves. With an eye for cultural and linguistic nuance, he shows the depth of the interplay between philosophy of mind, 'scientific' psychology, neurophysiology, and theories of social order.
