Having read "The Dark Side of the Mind" I was keen to read more. I found one story in particular very uncomfortable reading, the majority are in some way, quite heart warming.
What I disliked was the authors need to virtue signal frequently, to nickname diagnostic manuals (without referring to alternatives - ICD-10 anyone? No?) and to lay on very very thick, that bad is a state of mind - very often the mind of the assessor. This doesn't need to be written in giant letters, the stories should speak for themselves.
