About this title

About the Author

Warren Mansell nearly became a hard scientist with his first degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, but unexpectedly developed into a soft one and turned to Psychology instead. After a brief sojourn in the real world (publishing), he escaped to the dreaming spires of Oxford where he attempted the Experimental Method (that is to say he did a PhD, or a D.Phil in the case of Oxford who have to be different). A different training in London as a ¬clinical psychologist followed. At 'The Institute' (or IOP), he was surrounded by erudite psychiatrists who enlightened him about the workings of the brain, which he likens to a small doughnut factory, though rather more grey and squidgy and ¬distinctly lacking in jam.
Author of several papers in psychology that involve real science, and far more than he likes to admit that speculate on untested (or untestable) theories, his life-long ambition is to play tiddlywinks with Felicity Kendall. Having recently moved out of the Oxbridge-London triangle he now spends his working days at the University of Manchester showing people cartoons to put them in a happy mood. It's a hard life.
