“How are we as psychologists to regard a discipline that succeeds primarily in speaking to itself?” This was a 1995 comment by Gergen, repeated by Sommer in his 2006 APA article about getting the word out. Novelist Doris Lessing said, “It is one of the paradoxes of our time that ideas capable of transforming our societies, full of insights about how the human animal actually behaves and thinks, are often presented in unreadable language.” Dr. Katie Cherry, LSU Professor, is doing her best to get the word out in an understandable way with her newest book, The Other Side of Suffering. Dr. Cherry crafted the book to be helpful for the general public by sharing her academic and experiential knowledge. We are thankful for her continuing effort to educate the public how about psychology!
