“Superb and exceedingly timely… . An impressive achievement.” –Scott O. Lilienfeld and Thomas H. Costello, PsycCRITIQUES

“Chris Chambers’s portrait should sit high on the wall of heroes in the movement to reform science.”—Barbara A. Spellman, Nature “Psychology: it’s not dead yet. But Chris Chambers makes a stark case for its having engaged in sins that call its validity into question.”—Luna C. M. Centifanti, Times Higher Education“Passionate, provocative, and persuasive, Chambers’ book is filled with information and insights about current practices in psychology—and offers recommendations to enhance transparency and reproducibility.”—Glenn C. Altschuler, Psychology Today“An excellent warts-and-all summary of the state of play in modern psychology.”—Dean Burnett, The Guardian“Superb and exceedingly timely… . An impressive achievement.”—Scott O. Lilienfeld and Thomas H. Costello, PsycCRITIQUES“I applaud Chambers for advocating reform of our science and this book for encouraging me to rethink our discipline. This book should be required reading for all graduate students and, of course, their mentors.”—Dom Massaro, American Journal of Psychology
