I was interested in this book as I am writing my own in the same field. I have a doctorate in psychiatry and neuroscience from Boston, trained at Harvard, Tufts, Michigan and UCSF. I have never come across such awful rubbish in my life. If a sophomore were to hand any of this to me as a "scientific paper", I would fail him: the contortion of data is so severe at times that it verges on delusional. Dr. Satinover is on a mission and is unable to admit it; he has provided a case study of how socially moulded fear (homophobia) can be used to impair perception and cognition. His section on genetics, among others, made me bug-eyed in disbelief. Spare yourself.
