Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. A cautionary tale that poses interesting questions. The author enters therapy to deal with issues of isolation, trust and intimacy. The therapist is a con artist who gains her complete trust, strips her of thousands of dollars, then mysteriously dies. The irony is that the whole horrific experience has the desired effect of making her more open, self-accepting and willing to show vulnerability. Extremely well written and hard to put down. ( ) Loved this book. A harrowing memoir of screenwriter Jennifer Miller's involvement -- emotionally, pychologically, financially -- with her scary L.A. therapist. Critics liken it to a Highsmith novel, and I'm inclined to agree. Miller's portrait of her therapist is so parallel to an everyday Tom Ripley. Her memoir also a realistic look into the day-to-day life of a woman screenwriter (at the time, she's a TV sitcom writer) trying to survive the prevalent sexism that goes on in Lalaland. I used to want to get into that business. After reading this, I'm glad I'm doing what I'm currently doing. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
It’s happened to all of us at one time: falling victim to someone who says the words we want to hear. It usually ends with a wounded heart or lost love. But in one woman’s case, it took a deadly turn. Jennifer Miller, an Emmy-nominated TV writer, was a highly functioning member of the Hollywood scene who had everything going for her: great contacts, great work, and the promise of an even greater future. But what Jennifer did not have was a happy life, or even the ability to understand what happy meant. A single woman who did not know what it was like to have a love relationship, she was haunted by a deepening despair. She toyed with therapy, but Jennifer, the daughter of a shrink, was convinced that she was beyond help. Then she met Dr. David Cohen, and discovered something worse than depression. Believing she had finally found someone to trust completely, Jennifer allowed herself to get sucked into Dr. Cohen’s world. What followed is a chilling tale of fraudulent therapy that is enthralling and horrifying from its skillful beginning to its shocking conclusion. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
