An odd book with an odd title but an interesting book nonetheless. Famous psychotherapists that most Psychology majors will recognize by name (Albert Ellis, William Glasser, Arnold Lazarus and Harville Hendrix amongst them) reveal some of their most bizarre and, in some cases, disturbing experiences with patients. A couple of these stories were so bizarre that I felt a little ill while reading them. Others were humorous, some were interesting from a clinical point of view. This is a book that anyone with an interest in psychology, be it layperson or clinician, would enjoy. I recommend it.
