1.0
This book was written twenty years ago and was helpful in seeing that these issues aren't new. However, that isn't enough to make this book worthwhile. The author is a journalist and not a psychologist and it shows. Her focus on mommy/daddy issues made the whole book lose credibility in my eyes and her reliance on others writing and not research furthered my disappointment. While written only five years later, Raising Cain, is much better, written with a lot of real experience as psychotherapists and research.
