University of Cambridge and Fellow at Trinty College, Cambridge. He
is Director of the Autism Research Centre (ARC) in Cambridge. He
holds degrees in Human Sciences from New College, Oxford, a PhD in
Psychology from UCL, and an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology at the
Institute of Psychiatry in London. He held lectureships in both of
these departments before moving to Cambridge in 1994. He is author
of
Mindblindness (1995), The Essential Difference (2003), Prenatal
Testosterone in Mind (2005), and Zero Degrees of Empathy (2011). He
has edited a number of scholarly anthologies including
Understanding
Ohter Minds (1993, 2000, and 2013), Synaesthesia (1997), and The
Maladapted Mind (1997). He has also written books for parents and
teachers including Autism and Asperger Syndrome: The Facts (2008),
and Teaching Children with Autism to Mindread (1999). He has
celebrated art in autism in An Exact Mind (2004). Michael V.
Lombardo received a BA from the University of California, Davis and
PhD from the University of Cambridge. Soon after his PhD he took up
a research fellowship from Jesus College,
Cambridge and a postdoctoral research fellowship from the British
Academy. Dr. Lombardo is currently a research associate and
Director of MRI at the Autism Research Centre at the University
of
Cambridge. His interdisciplinary work focuses on understanding
autism, self-referential and social cognition, human brain
development, and the early effects that hormones have for
programming later development. Helen Tager-Flusberg received her
Bachelors in Science in Psychology from University College London,
and her doctorate from Harvard University. From 1978 through 2001
she was a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the

Review from previous edition "...Understanding Other Minds is a
well thought-out text, with all the chapter authors achieving a
very high standard of presentation...an excellent introduction for
readers new to the area while also providing an important research
synthesis for the more expert."Psychological Medicine"
`There is no better way to keep up to date with research on Theory
of Mind than through these state of the art reviews. Here, new
voices are heard that brim with fresh ideas on how our mind can
understand itself. This third volume of a now classic series is
essential reading if you wish to keep abreast of a rapidly evolving
area of developmental neuroscience.'
Uta Faith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, University
College London, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UK, July 2013
