Customer Reviews

Extremely entertaining tongue-in-cheek anthology

I bought this for the laugh out loud funny story by Julia Willis `Case History of a Warrior Princess'. The book has 69 short-short stories from a host of fabulous authors including Alison Bechdel, Leslea Newman, Anna Seale and many more. This is a Keeper!

Laugh all the way to your next appointment

Ever wonder what you would do if you ran smack into your therapist in the dressing room at the 'Y'? Need advice on how to select a therapist? Or an object lesson on what happens when you choose badly?This book is full of amusing and insightful stories about lesbians in therapy, and lesbian therapists doing therapy, and lesbians who should be doing therapy. Most of the stories are well-written and fluent.This book is a great deal of fun, offers some real food for thought and is a good way to tide you over your therapist's four-week trip to Aruba.

Laugh, cry, schedule an emergency session

Finally a book that deals tongue-in-cheek with our Issues with a capital "I."Meredith Cohen ("Ms. Behavior") once wrote about the pesky boundary situations that can occur between lesbians and their (oftentimes) lesbian therapists and this book provides ample evidence of this. From one woman (oops womyn? :) seeing her therapist naked at the gym, to a client who uses a therapist's home bathroom and has to have the therapist pass toilet paper through the cracked door..well, you get the picture.This book will definitely make you laugh, so buy one for the next time your therapist is on a vacation. Until prozac goes generic, it's the next best thing....
