Zusammenfassung

First book to examine the taboo topic of excretion from a psychological perspective

No similar books on the market

Disgust has received a lot of academic and media attention in recent years, in relation to biology and health, emotions, morality and behaviour

Written in an accessible style with an occasionally humorous tone

Provides a broad coverage of topics related to elimination such as the 'anal character', 'potty mouth' and 'toilet graffiti'

Fascinating and taboo-challenging subject matter

Excellent prior media attention

Pertinence to many common behavioural and emotional problems

Relevance beyond psychology to medicine and social science
