Minuchin is the man; if he can't do it, no-one can

The nation's pioneer in family counseling and therapy shares his priceless wisdom with us in this book. Minuchin is a towering figure whose genius and brilliance will continue to help many families save themselves. Thank you Dr. Minuchin for writing this book.

since it's by minuchin, it's a winner...but...

i read this about two months ago, so take this with a grain of salt. then again, maybe it's better, cause here's what's stuck with me. it was a good book, but it really helped that i was into salvador minuchin already before reading it. if you don't know him, he's quite an icon, and i recommend watching some of his videos, because they really point to his genius, and for me, were the inspiration to want to delve deeper into his work.this book tells a lot of minuchin's history, his development as a doctor and therapist, some early strengths of his as well as foibles and weaknesses (interesting stuff!), and just a fair amount of stuff you'd expect in any 3/4ths of the way decent autobiography.anyway, my mind is shot so i'll leave this book in your hands. if you're interesting in minuchin, i don't think you'll regret reading this book, but i wouldn't recommend it as an intro to him or his work...
