Customer Review:
Being in therapy is an excellent idea. Sharing therapy is a foolish idea. Dull-usions of writing like Faulkner make for especially bad editorial choices. I hope little Kevin feels better real soon because . . . well, poor thing. | 4.0 / 5.0

from Stage and Screen
Customer Review:
Greenberg is an intriguing playwright, erudite, bright, urbane, witty...the superlatives go on and on. I have been a fan for years. He is unpredictable and worthy of our sustained attention. I didn't like this play, but I have loved others by him and you will, too. This play has one terrific virtue:... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book is excellent. I wish I had found it 10 years earlier - it could have saved me a lot of agony. It explains the various levels and stages of coming out rather than making it seem like one huge thing you have to do all at once.

from Wiley
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
The book was quite long on examples, and then had a tendancy to refer back to examples by name and expects you to remember the details. I was looking for answers to "Why?" and to "Okay now what do I do?" and found that this book did not help.
A chapter later in the book discussed affects on... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
