Autorenporträt
Alfred B. Heilbrun Jr. has worked for more than half a century as a university professor, researcher, and scholar in his chosen field of psychology. During his long career he has chosen to avoid popular solutions to issues, preferring to find answers through programs of scientific investigation. This independence of thought has culminated in seven books and over 220 scientific papers for which he has been the sole or primary author.
