One of the most moving books I've ever read

About life death, love and the therapists in between. 

I would recommend this book to anyone curious about or suspicious about the thereputic process as this very funny and extremely moving memoir gives a fascinating insight from both sides of the couch. 

As humans we are all frail but we can be so resistant too. This book shows us how.

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.
