Live from the home office from the psychology department at McKendree University: Tami Eggleston's psychology picks: Best Books: As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As a Girl The Man who mistook his wife for a Hat Simple Abundance Angela's Ashes Reviving Ophelia The Prince
Any book by Maya Angelou (plus, everyone should have the APA Handbook and a good dictionary) Best Videos: Awakenings Lorenzo's Oil Rain Man As good as it gets Good Will Hunting One Flew Over the Cuckoos' Nest Sybil Shine (not the Shining, although that is good too!) Three Faces of Eve A Beautiful Mind (Very interesting, but I do not encourage any schizophrenics to stop taking their medicine!) Interesting Videos (but not in my top 10 list!) Fight Club Primal Fear (what is it with Edward Norton playing psychologically disturbed characters?) What about Bob? (OK, not really interesting, but funny!) Best Games Cranium Ink Spots (a take off of the real ink-blots) Bop-It! Do you have ideas for good psychology books, videos, or games? Well email them to me at tegglest@mckendree.edu!
