Lori Gottlieb Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
New York Times Bestseller "Therapy", writes the author, "elicits odd reactions because, in a way, it's like pornography. Both involve a kind of nudity. Both have the potential to thrill. And both have millions of users, most of whom keep their use private." The book does have an odd feeling of voyeurism, although she hastens to point out that both patient permission and identity blurring are embedded in her stories. From a newlywed diagnosed with cancer to an older adult intent on suicide by next birthday to others with damaging relationships and substance abuse, the book is more like peering over a therapist's shoulder during the process of dismantling barriers and finding the storm within. Author of a "Dear Therapist" column in the Atlantic, she is well-qualified to write this fascinating book.
