Between the Lines is an extraordinary account, as well as a practical and pioneering method, for recognizing, uncovering, and explaining hidden meaning in everyday conversation. Haskell, an expert in unconscious meaning, shows how our mind uses feelings, sounds, and language to simultaneously hide and reveal what we secretly think and feel during conversation. His intriguing book is filled with episodes from everyday life that reveal our true feelings and concerns about friends, family, co-workers, and others that are often suppressed in social situations.

Between the Lines is required for anyone who needs to uncover what people are truly thinking and feeling. It is a book for people who not only want to see how language and the unconscious mind work but also to achieve their goals through a better understanding of what is being said during conversation.

Review

"Between the Lines is a ground-breaking, yet highly readable account of hidden meaning. Haskell gives us a window into understanding what we say though we mean something else. The book's insights into how the human mind works are remarkable. Listening to conversations will never be the same again!" -- Susan Edward, Ph.D., Counseling Psychologist, Princeton, New Jersey and author, Dangerous Clients: How to Protect Yourself

"Between the Lines is a wondrous journey! Haskell presents a clear explanation and exploration of meanings that we produce as we engage in everyday talk that often go unnoticed, even by the talker. The author introduces us to the world of subliteral communication where unconscious structures of meaning are created among the words we actually speak. Thus, we discover the realm of metaphorical, analogical, and parallel feelings where we say more than we mean, and hear more than is said." -- Richard B. Gregg, Ph.D., Professor of Speech Communicaiton, Pennsylvania State University; Author, Symbolic Inducement and Knowing: A Study in the Foundations of Rhetoric

"Haskell's book is to be compared to Arthur Koestler's THE ACT OF CREATION. Only infrequently since Koestler has anyone been able to write a book that presents the complexity of psychological science in a readable way. Like its predecessor, Between the Lines offers a new theory of mental functioning (and a method for assessing it) that will have something of significance to say both to interested professionals and the general reader." -- Howard Pollio, Ph.D., Alumni Professor of Psychology, University of Tennessee and author of Phenomenology of Everyday Life
