'A brave, funny, broken-hearted book that fights its way to wisdom.' - Helen Garner. 'Andee Jones has written the book that all therapists and would-be therapists should read. Those seeking therapy should use the book as a guide in their search for that great rarity, a pearl beyond price, a good therapist.' - Dorothy Rowe. 'Humane, good-humoured and immensely helpful. To turn this book's pages is far, far better than popping pills.' - Phillip Adams
