I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was. It's more than a memoir. In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies. She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class. Be warned: the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.
