AUTHOR

Wegner, Daniel M.

SUMMARY

In a series of experiments, Daniel M. Wegner told subjects not to think about white bears. Of course, they found it impossible to avoid thinking about the bears - just as it often seems impossible to stop thinking about forbidden foods, a social blunder, or a lost love. Drawing on the theories of William James, Freud, and Dewey, as well as on studies in mood control, cognitive therapy and artificial intelligence, this enlightening book explores the reasons unwanted, embarrassing, or frightening notions are so persistent.Wegner, Daniel M. is the author of 'White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts Suppression, Obsession, and the Psychology of Mental Control', published 1994 under ISBN 9780898622232 and ISBN 0898622239.
