Reviews

"This is a remarkably jargon-free, accessible, thoughtful analysis of the current state of psychotherapy and its inability or unwillingness to help people address social and individual issues by affirming their values, spirituality, and creativity. This sounds like Dr. Phil, but it isn't. In discussions ranging from Greek tragedies to Mozart and Michelangelo, Rubin takes us on a serious journey through the history, failures, and potentials of psychoanalysis."
