I haven't been able to get this book out of my mind. The search for perfect understanding and acceptance, and the feelings of Jake, Mick, and Dr. Copeland in the presence of Singer (and Singer in the presence of Antonapoulas) remind me so much of my therapy experience.
And I've just been wondering if therapy feels the same on the other end of the relationship as it did to Singer (and hopefully not Antonapoulas). Or was Singer's apparent bemusement the result of the fact that he wasn't actually trained, just serendipidously fell into the role of accepting listener/blank slate.
The whole book was rather depressing on the whole, I'm finding.
