PSYCHOLOGY


MARY AIKEN THE CYBER EFFECT JOHN MURRAY, 11TH, H/B, £20, 9781473610231 Freakonomics for our online lives is the billing for this book from world-leading cyber psychologist and the inspiration for “CSI Cyber”. With great clarity and insight, Aiken investigates the effect of technology on human behaviour, including criminal activity on the Deep Web and Darknet, deviancy, internet addiction; the teenage psyche, child development (very compelling) and cyber romance. It’s not all bad: there’s online altruism, for one thing, but generally Aiken concludes that we are sleepwalking to disaster in our increasing reliance on screens.

psychotherapist and a mother, it also explores the concept of “hygge” in relation to parenting. Originally self-published, it sold over 10,00- copies in less than a year. The authors blog at TheDanishWay.com.

JOHN BRADSHAW AND SARAH ELLIS THE TRAINABLE CAT ALLEN LANE, 4TH, H/B, £20, 9780241004746 Most cat owners would probably cackle with ironic laughter at the notion that felines can be trained. But Bradshaw, biologist author of Cat Sense and In Defence of Dogs, and feline behaviour specialist Ellis argue that you can indeed train your cat to do what is in its interests, helping it to become more fulfilled, sociable and happier. As well as teaching cats to answer to their names, it shows how to settle them into a new home and overcome the anxiety of a visit to the (ssshhh) “V–E–T”.
