I'm Ok, You're Ok by Thomas A. Harris

2.0

Like its theory, the book is only just ok. And this solves the problems of psychotherapy, seriously?? Such a narrow minded perspective with no combination matching those ppl who have gone through emotional neglect or childhood abuse-they might initially be in a state that they are not ok but everyone is, but they later understand that their parents were faulty too & further transform themselves making their hearts stronger leading to the stage of I'm ok but you're not ok, which is nothing but awareness that what happened to them in their childhood is not their fault & it does not define them. But the author just states the "I'm ok, you're not ok" state as a violent & aggressive psychopathic ppl but normal kind , broken & made stronger ppl also live in the same state & that doesn't mean anything is wrong with them. Introducing his point of view wasn't a mistake but acting like its the only solution & generalizing everyone's pain & suffering is not only idiotic but also unacceptable. What a huge disappointment this was!! :( waste of time.
