About the author

Professor of Psychology, university of Huddersfield.

David Victor Canter (born 5 January 1944) is a psychologist. He began his career as an architectural psychologist studying the interactions between people and buildings, publishing and providing consultancy on the designs of offices, schools, prisons, housing and other building forms as well as exploring how people made sense of the large scale environment, notably cities. He set up the Journal of Environmental Psychology in 1980. His work in architecture led to studies of human reactions in fires and other emergencies. He pioneered Investigative Psychology in Britain. He helped police in 1985 on the Railway Rapist case. He was the Professor of Psychology at the University of Surrey for ten years, where he developed Investigative Psychology described in detail in Investigative Psychology: Offender Profiling and the Analysis of Criminal Action and a course curriculum. He was Director of the Centre For Investigative Psychology which is based at the University of Liverpool. Since 2009 he has been at the University of Huddersfield. At Liverpool University Canter developed the MSc programme in Investigative Psychology which he directed until 2007. He no longer directs this programme which has consequently changed to reflect the wider arena of Forensic Psychology and a more balanced view of the field. He is the founder and director of the International Academy for Investigative Psychology, a professional academy for researchers seeking to apply social science to investigative and legal processes.

Άλλο περίμενα και άλλο διάβασα. Μάλλον φταίει η μετάφραση του ξένου τίτλου ''Psychology for architects'' σε ''Ψυχολογία και αρχιτεκτονική''. Αν και δεν έχω σχεδόν καθόλου επαφή με την επιστήμη της ψυχολογίας και δεδομένου το ότι το βιβλίο γράφτηκε το 1975 βρήκα πώς το βιβλίο είναι πλέον παρωχημένο. Αν δεν είναι παρωχημένο ως προς την επιστήμη της ψυχολογίας τότε σίγουρα είναι παρωχημένο ως προς την αρχιτεκτονική.
