I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was.  It's more than a memoir.  In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies.  She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class.  Be warned:  the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.

This book was so hopeful and made me consider exactly what I myself would would want from my therapist. It sees the humanity in even the biggest assholes. It touches you in your pain. It lets you be vulnerable. I recommend this book to anyone who has told someone that "therapy doesn't work for me". I recommend this book to anyone who is afraid to be vulnerable. At it's worst, it's an interesting study of the human condition. At it's best, it will teach you something about yourself.
