Abstract

Our new book, “What Makes Us Social?” (Frith & Frith, Citation2023 published open access), started with four lectures on our joint topic of social cognitive neuroscience. We gave these lectures at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris in 2014 with the understanding that we would publish them as part of the Jean Nicod lecture series. We first planned for seven chapters. However, over the years this book grew to 20 chapters reflecting the rapid growth of the field. We were pleased to have been asked to comment on our book’s implications for mental disorders. We welcomed this task since our interest in social cognition stems from our involvement in research in autism and schizophrenia, conditions where problems with social communication and interaction loom large.
