Reviews
"The life, times, and thoughts of a New York therapist are put on display in a candid account of what goes on behind the doctor's door-and in his head-during a day filled with patients and self-doubt. Tackling serious mental-health subjects without being overly reverent, shrinktalk.net blogger Dobrenski maintains a snappy pace. Patients are not spared his keen observations, which help to answer the vexing question: Am I paranoid, or does my shrink think I'm crazy-and sloppy? . . . But Dobrenski also puts himself under the microscope. . . . Clean, honest writing makes for an engaging read." - Kirkus Reviews   "Most people who get into psychology as a profession do it because they're crazy, and it's their way of healing themselves. The problem is, they never admit this fact to themselves or to anyone else. Dr. Rob does what very few psychologists ever do: He looks at himself with the same eye for analysis that he uses for his patients." --Tucker Max, author of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell "It takes a truckload of guts to write a book this honest about one's profession. To pen one as funny and insightful as Crazy is, simply, amazing. You'll never view therapy in the same light again." --The Philadelphia Lawyer, author of Happy Hour Is for Amateurs "If you ever wondered what your shrink was like out of office hours, then this is the book for you. A fascinating, thought-provoking and at times hilarious, read." --Robin Baker, author of Sperm Wars and Primal "Fun for anyone who's wondered what it's like to make a living by listening to other people's troubles all day." - Library Journal "A refreshing memoir...a solid step in the right direction of reminding patients that treatment can be a two-way street."  - Shelf Awareness, "The life, times, and thoughts of a New York therapist are put on display in a candid account of what goes on behind the doctor's door--and in his head--during a day filled with patients and self-doubt.

    This book is fantastic! The quality is exactly as described, it’s in great condition, the appearance is clean and basically brand-new, and it came at an excellent price. This is a first-rate, five-star seller that deserves everyone's business. They packaged the book with extreme care, shipped it quickly, and communicated effectively throughout the process. This was an excellent buying experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again.

    This book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
