An "A" for effort...but
|
| I confess, I could not finish this book. The first chapter is so laden with self-serving references that I got the feeling the authors were obsessed with gathering references in support of their case. It made for a very boring read. And I was also turned off by a self-serving, out-of-context quotation from Emotional Intelligence, a very thoroughly researched book. For my money, a far more insightful and readable look at the therapy cult is Tana Dineen's "Manufacturing Victims: What the Psychology Industry is Doing to People." I greatly enjoyed Sommers's "Who Stole Feminism?" and therefore was very disappointed in this book, which is inconsistent with her usual balanced, in-depth coverage. Nevertheless, I give it 4 stars because the subject is terribly important. The psych industry is, in fact, intent on establishing its authority to control our behavior, increase our dependence on its underqualified "helpers," and make authoritarian pronouncements about our inner lives. |
