Book
Magic and the mind : mechanisms, functions, and development of magical thinking and behavior / Eugene Subbotsky.
Subbotsky argues that the role of magical thinking in child development and in adult life should be reconsidered. In children, magical thinking is an important part of cognitive development. In adults, magical thinking assists individuals as they struggle with situations that are beyond rational control.
