The Mummy At The Dining Room Table

Eminent Therapists Reveal Their Most Unusual Cases.

This fascinating book presents engaging, often surprising stories of human behaviour as dramatically portrayed from the case histories of the best and most respected therapists in the United States.

We learn of the family that lived with a mummy, the seventy-two-year-old prostitute, the man who wanted his nose cut off, the lawyer from hell, the hip-nose doctor who finds the Michael Jordan tickets - and other extraordinary and fascinating tales told directly from the personal case files of renowned therapists including Arnold Lazarus, William Glasser, Insoo Kim Berg, Albert Ellis, Scott Miller, Jim Bugental, Pat Love, and many others.

Engagingly written and fun to read, each of these stories presents curious aspects of human behaviour along with a rare glimpse into what the best therapists have done to treat and most often cure these apparently intractable problems. Both entertaining and inspiring in their humanity, each of these cases demonstrate the power of compassion, insight, hope, and hard work on the part of both the client and therapist alike.
