Summary
A wife pretends to hang herself in the basement so she can time how long it will be before her husband comes to rescue her...a woman whose dead aunt was made into a mummy so the family could better grieve her passing and on occasion dine with her at family gatherings...a man wants his nose cut off to escape an annoying smell that haunts him...a teenage boy would only come to therapy if he could bring his pet snake.
These and other fascinating and revealing stories are told by some of the most famous therapists in the world. Collected in this extraordinary book, well-known practitioners recount the most memorable case histories of their illustrious careers. Engaging and surprising stories of human behavior are dramatically and often humorously portrayed. Each chapter gives a behind-the-scenes look at how therapists work with clients whose problems and behaviors aren't found in standard psychology textbooks. The book also shows how these eminent therapists often cure these apparently intractable problems and learn something about themselves in the process.

Entertaining
Quantity over quality, and entertainment over insight. That still makes for a good book. The variety is refreshing - from bestiality to Michael Jackson tickets to first nation medicine. The narrator starts weak, but gets into his stride, and by 1/3 of the way through is knocking it out the park. It turns out he's perfect for the role, and eventually relishes it. A few of the stories lack compassion, and one made me cringe from the inadequate care the patient received. But overall this is a good value and memorable collection aimed at a lay audience. Enjoy.
