Clear but dry

AM I CRAZY, OR IS IT MY SHRINK? is written by two psychologists and one journalist. It offers good descriptions of various therapies and how they work. The language of this book has a very academic, clinical tone, which makes its valuable information a bit dry to assimilate. Some cautions about the therapeutic process are discussed, but not enough on the ways to tell if you, as a patient, are with an inappropriate or wacky therapist. I found it a good book with only a few reservations.
