We describe recent experimental and theoretical results which show that the light pressure force for an atom with more than two levels, in a field with more than one frequency or which is studied in more than one dimension can display striking new features. The importance of these results lies in the fact that they cannot be explained in terms of a two-level, a monochromatic or a one-dimensional theory.
