Product Description
Brendan O'Neill, New Statesman, January 24, 2008
'In his brilliant Shyness... Christopher Lane painstakingly shows how the category of 'mental disorder' has been expanded in recent decades, so that what were once considered normal emotions or everyday foibles - shyness, rebelliousness, aloofness, and so on - have been relabelled as phobias, disorders and syndromes.'


Helen Guldberg, Spiked Review of Books, December 2007
'Fascinating... persuasive... should be read by anyone interested in stopping the rot in the discussion of human emotion and thought.'
