Title: Brings up crucial issues, but is too superficial
Product review: Finally! Someone actually writes about the fact that therapy does not work much of the time, and that many therapists just cannot do therapy (many are too screwed up themselves). With that said, however, Masson, unfortunately, is very Angry throughout this book; he is just not distanced enough in many of the chapters. I suspect that he is upset that he had to leave his "chosen career".In addition, he is too superficial about many of the points he raises; there doesn't seem to be much analysis. He just states his opinion; and that's about it. This is a true shame. He raises an important issue; there is a real need for someone to write a good, deep analysis about why therapy doesn't work for so many people, why so many therapists are disturbed themselves, and where consumers who are suffering mentally can seek real help.
