Biography

Thomas Blass

"This book presents valuable additional information, extensions, and rich additional facts on one of the most important experiments in psychology."
—Gruppendynamik und Organisationsbertatung

"...although seeming at the outset to be a book about the past, it is in fact very much about the present....it provides some excellent first-hand illustrative material for work in personal, social and moral education...[and] with student teachers in considering their future role with regard to their use of power and their expectations of obedience within educational settings."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology

"Thomas Blass...probably has done more than anyone to keep Milgram's research a part of contemporary social psychology....Milgram's work still provides the best insight into one of the most important questions social psychologists have ever asked."
