Unintended Thought by Uleman, James S.; Bargh, John A. (editors) - 1989

New York , NY, U.S.A.: Guilford Press, 1989. Half Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. The contributors to this book investigate the question of whether influences on thought and behavior are unintended; the chapters are grouped into four sections: Part 1 deals with basic processes central to an understanding of unintended thought, how it operates, how it interacts with other aspects of mental life such as self concept and affect; Part 2 deals with particular content of unintended thought that is common in social life: thought about people's traits, thought about persuasive messages, and stereotyped thinking about others; Part 3 deals with regaining control of unintended thought, both normal and pathological; Part 4 has concluding chapters that distinguish among five kinds of cognitive processes in terms of extent of personal control, and discuss the book's major topics from the perspective of neuropsychology (black cloth & black paper-covered boards with gold lettering; black & white pictorial dust jacket with very slight edge creases; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
