A Sickness Called Therapy. A Review in The Guardian Newspaper - August 28, 1999. "There are two things that everyone should know about psychotherapy. The first is that almost every study ever done has shown that it is no more effective than a placebo, or even no treatment at all. The second is that most people who have had therapy feel that it has benefited them in some way. Most books about therapy emphasise one of these facts to the exclusion of the other... Tana Dineen's new book, Manufacturing Victims, has the merit of drawing attention to both sides of the story."
