Of exceptional
interest not only to general audiences but to all mental health professionals and students. . . Fancher's tone is so calm
and persuasive that I think even loyalists will be able to hear his argument.
-Carol Tavris, Ph.D., author, "The Mismeasure
of Woman," "Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion," and others
. . . a landmark book . . . finely reasoned and far-ranging
. . .
"The Library Journal"
These analyses are both thorough and penetrating. . . .
The appendix, `Implications for Choosing or Changing a Therapist,’ is superb and would make this book worthwhile in and of
itself.
Richard Lamb, Professor of Psychiatry, USC,
in JAMA ("Journal of the American Medical Association")
It
is hard to imagine an interested reader who would not want to argue furiously over one point or another. Nonetheless, it
is equally hard to imagine the reader who wouldn’t consider Mr. Fancher a worthy and engaging opponent.
"The
New York Times Book Review"
. . . expert dissection of American psychiatry and psychotherapy . . . masterly analysis
of the pretensions and paradoxes of the various schools of psychotherapy.
"The New Scientist" (U.K.)
.
. . a stimulating and controversial book . . .
Anthony Storr in "Nature"
. . . combines innovation,
insight, and usefulness . . .
"Journal of Religion and Health"
. . . a major step toward clarification
of the persistent, murky and wide-ranging issues that bedevil psychotherapeutic theory and practice. . . . Highly recommended.
Jerome D. Frank, Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins, in "The Journal of Nervous and Emotional Diseases"
This
book should be read and reflected on by all who have a serious interest in the present state of mental health care.
Elliot Valenstein, Professor of Neuroscience, University of Michigan
