Customer Reviews

You're not crazy

Thanks to this book I have now been able to identify what my anxiety is about and how I can cope with it in a constructive way. I had never heard of the terminology "free floating hostility". Unconsciously dealing with anger that I didn't realize I had was also an issue. If you read what Dr. Bruno provides in dealing with these issues you should be able to find relief. I highly recommend this book to people suffering from these two, and other personality disorders. Good luck and God bless.

your not alone

Frank J Bruno's book Psychological Symptoms is a must read for all those feeling any phobia from alcoholism through to workaholism as well as those who have friends or family members who my be suffering from an irrational fear ( phobia ). Basically understanding your not going crazy or and that your not alone is half way to achieving a normal fulfilling life. The other half is up to you and you can acheive this through this book. Much like a psychological bible to those it has helped. Highly recommened.
