Review:In his book Love's Executioner: & Other Tales of Psychotherapy (Perennial Classics), Yalom puts his own reputation on the line in order to give us, the reader, an inside look into therapy from the therapist's point of view. As a studying psychotherapist I found his book both fascinating and useful. Yalom shows how even the most seasoned therapist has reactions to his clients, and how to take these reaction... Read more

Review:What an amazing, thoughtful, well written book. I have 2 little boys and I feel so grateful that I'm reading this book just in time to prepare me for the years to come.
Having boys is absolutely the most amazing experience ever but it can also be challenging, tiring, overwhelming!
Thank you for writing this book and reaffirming that love, gentleness, respect and understanding for each other feelings can never go wrong! Read more

Review:A great book, especially for Moms with teenagers girls. I mailed to my daughter, she has one teen age 13th. and I thought she could fine some good advises from the book. I hope she does.
The author of this book, Mary Pipher, is a resident of my city, Lincoln, Nebraska. I have read all of her books. I like the last one. Seeking Peace, which I borrowed from the Libriary. I will be ordering one copy from you, after I finish reading some books I am presently reading. Thank you for asking my opini... Read more

Review:Odd Girl Out is an extremely thorough treatise on girls using relationship as a weapon against other girls and the lasting impact it can have on them. The author not only interviews numerous girls (3rd - 8th grade students), but also tells the stories of many women who experienced the painful situation of being a victim from a former best friend. The author is able to vividly capture the pain that resulted in many women stating years later that they trust men more than women because women can ... Read more

Review:If you want to understand why economists can't admit that their models are wrong, why we keep repeating the mistake of trying to solve Greece's debt burden by loaning it more money and imposing austerity measures, why the climate change debate is hardening into two opposed camps, and why most of our attempts to get people to change their minds with "evidence" almost always backfires , then this is a "must read".

If I had the power to make a book compulsory reading this would be on the lis... Read more

Review:I must say I had high expectation for this book. Unfortunately, the 500 pages used to discuss Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment and the underlying psychological principles behind "How Good People Become Evil" could have been condensed into 100-200 pages.

If, like me, you were looking forward to delving deep into the psychological aspects of this hypothesis I fear you may be disappointed. Read more

Review:This book is very interesting and gives a good overview about identifying early childhood trauma.
What I am really missing in this book is the longterm perspective- what is the situation after 10-15 years - with or without treatment. Read more

Review:I found this book to be very informative & well written. It is the first book I have read regarding RAD since my son was diagnosed with attatchment issues.

I found that I could relate to many of the behaviours detailed in the book & it has given me invaluable insight into the confusing and painful world where my son sometimes dwells.

I would have liked a more comprehensive guide into the guidelines for parenting a child with these problems - though I have already tracked do... Read more

Review:In the words of one professional who rated this book with a poor rating: "Parents with a little knowledge do not compare to trained and licensed professionals who can understand all the nuances and complexities of a troubled child." As both a professional and a parent of a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. No one can understand all the nuances and complexities of a troubled child better than those parents who have lived with them. Thi... Read more

Review:much of the arguments are based on questionable foundations, but it is be useful to spark thoughts as to why they are questionable and therefore what would be better. whether their points are acceptable or not, any idea which aids in further examination of the world is a good thing. Read more
