The Mummy At The Dining Room Table

This deliciously entertaining, often surprising, and always fascinating book presents compelling, comical, and revealing stories of human behavior as dramatically portrayed from the case histories of the best and most respected therapists in the US today. The 72 year old prostitute, the family that lived with a mummy, the man who wanted his nose cut off, the penis that needed permission from the church - these and other tales are told directly from the personal case histories of eminent therapists.

Extremely well written and fun to read, each of these stories present odd, and curious aspects of human behavior, as well as a rare glimpse of what the best therapists have done to treat and usually cure these apparently intractible problems. Both entertaining and inspiring in their humanity, each of these cases demonstrate the power of compassion, insight, hope and hard work on the part of both the client and therapist alike.
