Summary: Couldn't put this one down!
Review: This book was not only entertaining, but educational as well- I couldn't put it down! An impressive group of well-known therapists tells of their most memorable case(s), some of which are quite unusual. It was as interesting to learn about how the therapists handled the cases, as it was to read about the various people and the (sometimes extraordinary) concerns they sought help for. The book is very well-written - the authors did a great job of organizing over 30 individual case studies. This is a great book for not only those in the psychology field, but for anyone interested in people, their unusual life stories and they handle them.

Review: Who could pass up a title like this? The casual reader, counselors-in-training, professionals, and clients will reach for it, if only to scan, and will end up carrying it to the checkout stand. In spite of the serious nature of the subject matter, this is no mere treatise of the "how to" genre. Instead, the reader is privileged to hear from well-known therapists, stories of the most unusual cases in their practices. To boot, we are privy to the unique ways in which these cases were approached and resolved. It is fascinating, enormously interesting, and entertainingly told by Kottler and Carlson. The writing style manages to weave humor into the fabric of the bizarre and we are reminded that "truth is stranger than fiction." A fun and easy read! I highly recommend it! Five stars!
