You said it sounded good though... odd words to use for a book like that, I thought! But hey, there we go. I am so tempted to buy it again though, if for no other reason than to see how I get on with it now. I am currently reading another book about the brain and trauma and am going ok with it I think. I know it is affecting me, but not in ways that are unmanageable, which is good. But yeah, I just logged on to Amazon and saw it was five years ago last week and that... shocked me?
(Ps, anyone reading who can tell me whether this is worth buying twice?? Or has anyone ever used the workbook?)

I think it is worth it. I have read it, my ex-therapist had completed training based on it. The chapter on traumatic attachment really moved me forward regarding how I understand my relational difficulties. It's not a comfortable read. I also have some objections to her style, her observations and ego statements, but I often find that to be true in faux-academic writing. It's a good starting point, or at least has been for me. Check eBay and similar for a second hand copy.
