Documents the drama of extraordinary inquiries into human psychology, bringing to life stories with unforgettable protagonists. LAUREN SLATER delivers a witty and stunningly perceptive view of the progress of the science of the human mind in the last century. Beginning with B. F. Skinner and the legend of a child raised in a box, she takes us from a deep empathy with Stanley Milgram's obedience subjects to a funny and disturbing recreation of an experiment questioning the validity of psychiatric diagnosis.

However, the need of organ donor is much more than the number of people who actually donate. Some people argue that organ donation should be mandatory.
