Carmel Cefai and Louis Laganà have created this remarkable book by selecting papers from the 32nd International Conference on Psychology and the Arts, a cutting-edge conference which has for three decades been discussing artworks from a psychological perspective. Enriching works from Greek tragedy to contemporary films, this is a book every critic will find worthwhile.
