Publisher's Summary
Many people grapple with destructive thought processes or a "critical inner voice" that directs their behavior and, to varying degrees, limits their lives. Using deeply personal and very human stories based on his own clinical practice, noted psychologist Robert W. Firestone illustrates the struggles of his clients to give words to this "enemy within", and in the process overcome its damaging influence. These revealing and captivating stories offer glimpses into the uniquely human relationship that develops in the therapeutic encounter and demonstrate the powerful impact that the experience has on both client and therapist.
Dr. Firestone is the originator of a therapeutic method called "Voice Therapy", by which clients learn to identify the language of the defense system and eventually separate their own point of view from its harmful effects. Each story provides an intimate look into one person's life, illuminates aspects of his or her "dark side", and highlights an important insight into the therapeutic process.
This sensitively written book will evoke emotional responses in listeners, and inspire them to take action to challenge the dictates of their own inner critic.

Interesting
Entertaining book for therapists and those with an interest in psychology. Primarily psychoanalytic style of therapy. He seems to have been a very effective and creative therapist but writes in a sexist manner at times, objectifying women and describing women’s accounts of their sexuality in a less believable, male focussed manner.

personally Not for me
I don't want to go into the mind of people who had the extreme cases. Sure I feel for them but I don't want to bring that into my mind
