The information provided in this book is great, but it was sorely in need of an editor and the way he talked about women and fat people made me intensely uncomfortable. Even when physical descriptors are helpful to get the whole picture, “an attractive woman” and “an obese man” are not the way to do it. I don’t recall how she looked being at all relevant to that transcript, and there are ways to mention that a man’s weight had an effect on him without repeatedly calling him obese. And the whole all clients are She unless otherwise noted and all clinicians are He thing for “simplicity” feels very gross. Useful information but it makes me feel like I’d certainly never want to be one of Phil Manfield’s clients.
