"Art and Identity is a book any scholar working the field of art or psychology should read. Those invested in the visual arts and the psychology of emotions and experience will find in it a wealth of sources and material. For those invested in literature, this book will prove resourceful as a stepping stone to further their research." - Aleksandar Kordis, in: The European Legacy, 21:5-6
