Van Zomeren's selvations theory is a genuinely novel integrative move in social psychology, and Cambridge University Press sets a high editorial bar. But this is specialist academic writing that will be dense and inaccessible to anyone outside graduate social psychology, and the theory is too new and unproven in applied settings to judge its long-term significance.
