Review from previous edition ...Understanding Other Minds is a well thought-out text, with all the chapter authors achieving a very high standard of presentation...an excellent introduction for readers new to the area while also providing an important research synthesis for the more expert. Psychological Medicine `There is no better way to keep up to date with research on Theory of Mind than through these state of the art reviews. Here, new voices are heard that brim with fresh ideas on how our mind can understand itself. This third volume of a now classic series is essential reading if you wish to keep abreast of a rapidly evolving area of developmental neuroscience.' Uta Faith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, University College London, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UK, July 2013
