A book for anyone wanting to understand themselves December 13, 2001 33 out of 34 found this review helpful
I approached the reading of this book with a little skepticism but having read it, now wholeheartedly recommend it to others. What this book does that I havent seen done before, is to explain WHY we feel like we do, and HOW our childhood has so profoundly influenced us. In addition it provides excellent advice for parents in avoiding the pitfalls of causing our own children to act and think disfunctionally. The advice on how to get "better" is a little shallow and I didn't like the many additional references to Pia Mellody's other offerings. Apart from this, a really excellent book.
I heartily endorse this book!! February 7, 1999 8 out of 12 found this review helpful
