About the Author
Carol Tavris, PhD, is a distinguished social psychologist and acclaimed author renowned for her incisive explorations of human behavior, cognitive biases, and the psychological mechanisms that underpin self-deception and societal folly. With a career spanning decades, she has contributed groundbreaking insights to psychology through her writing, lectures, and media appearances, challenging readers to confront the rationalizations that allow individuals and institutions to evade accountability. Her work bridges academic rigor with accessible prose, making complex concepts relatable and urgent. Notable titles include 'Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts' and 'Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology,' which dissect the errors in judgment and the allure of pseudoscientific claims in mental health practices. Tavris's scholarship continues to influence how we understand morality, decision-making, and the pursuit of truth in an era of misinformation.
