Hi Marie,
I think I mentioned before how the book was enormously helpful to me in the sense that the relationship I had with my ex-psychiatrist that crossed boundaries was shared by many other women and I wasn't the only idiot out there. Have you gotten to that part yet? Where women who have experienced abuse (especially sexual) in childhood are pretty much sitting ducks in a therapeutic relationship. That it takes a shrink with very strong boundaries to handle such women. I re-read that section where it said the therapist can just 'stop' the relationship and re-enter the real world and the woman (in this case I overdosed) needs a therapist to work through the trauma. The book was extremely accurate, so much that it hurt. Take care, judy
