Book Reviews of Psycho-Cybernetics

Book Review: Written decades ago, but still pertinent
Summary: 4 Stars

Dr. Maltz, originally a face surgeon, came to recognize in his patients a need for a positive self image, which need transcended the physical characteristics that patients wanted improved.

He compares the methodology of achieving a desired improvement in one's self image with that used in the design of modern physical automatic control systems (he uses the term "Cybernetics" to describe the servomechanism systems of his day, such as those used in military fire control systems).

The concept is imaginative, and Dr. Maltz uses most of his book to describe various methods for helping change one's self image to the one that is desired, presumably by using negative feedback control to minimize the difference between one's current self image and one's desired self image, similar in concept to how military fire control systems operate.

While the basic ideas presented by Dr. Maltz are intriguing the human brain is so much more complex than the design of a military fire control system that the basic concepts presented must be taken with this important limitation in mind.

The fact that book is still in print after many decades and has sold many millions of copies, however, is a tribute to some validity of Dr. Maltz's basic concepts.
