So, the new term has started (well at least for me it has and [...]

I will be traveling around Italy for the next two weeks so I’m afraid that there wont be anything new posted here until then. If you’re stuck for something to read though you could try some of the other excellent psychology blogs or pop over to the BBC Body and Mind site where there’s [...]
