ALTRUISM; PHENOMENOLOGICAL psychology; HOLY Cross; MEANING (Psychology); PSYCHOLOGY

Ioannidis's passage also implicates the need for psychologists to open themselves up to alternative methods to the hypothetico-deductive model that pervades the discipline and has hampered meaningful theoretical advancement in the psychology of altruism for many years. In this sense, the review provides psychologists a kind of passage to Ioannidis's passage to altruism. Before getting too excited, however, interested psychologists need to bear in mind that because this book is not written for psychologists it may be difficult for some psychologists to follow.
