Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate

3.0

---

I struggled with what to rate this book because it’s truly very well-written, raw, and heartwarming. It speaks truthfully to many important aspects of healing and the power of therapy and human relationships. As a social worker, though, I cringed sometimes at some of the ethical violations that the therapist broke. I think it’s a great story that tugs at the human heart, but I think it’s worth saying that there are parts that do not always accurately reflect what group therapy is (or should be like).

Content warnings: eating disorder, suicidal ideation, death, mental illness, etc

3.5/5
