I found it tedious to read through all of the chapters because ultimately I only found one chapter to which I could relate. It was a chapter called "Overcoming Isolation and Despair". That particular chapter did strike a chord with me, and I found the therapy session described in that chapter quite moving.
I was also a bit offended by the last chapter in which a 71-year-old woman was the patient. In that chapter, the patient was referred for psychotherapy because she seemed withdrawn and depressed around her family. The psychiatrist made the woman (his patient) sound as if she already had one foot in the grave. I am close to that age and could not at all identify with how the "old grandmother" was described. A person my age is very much alive...unless he or she is suffering from a severe disability or a terminal illness.
I guess this book and I were simply not a good fit for each other.… (altro)
