Ondanks dat het misschien niet altijd gemakkelijk voor me was om dit boek te lezen kan ik toch zeggen dat ik content ben met het feit dat ik het boek gelezen heb. An interesting book although am still uncomfortable with scenarios that even though fictional must surely come from or influenced by real life cases.The stories were relatively engaging, and I was curious about their backstories and what would ensue.

De bewoording komt absoluut niet hoogdravend over, zelfs de vaktermen van klinische psychologie zijn dusdanig beperkt en worden soms als ze wel voorkomen in de tekst verklaard. But the main issue I had was with the disrespectful way the author spoke about some of the people she worked with. The book is very well written and really brings to life what it is like to work with people with mental health problems.This non-fiction book based on Tanya Bryon’s time as a training clinical psychologist is captivating from the first sentence. This was a wonderful memoir, full of interesting detail and written in such a way so it wasn't loaded down with jargon. The book is searingly honest about the author’s own failings and about how difficult she found it to learn that not everyone can be cured.

Professor Tanya Byron is a clinical psychologist and a professor in the public understanding of science, specializing in working with children and adolescents, with twenty-five years' experience. in my final year of training when I was beginning to get more of an understanding of my professional identity and approach, people in crisis are manifesting much more than the sum of their own illness. But as a 24 (I really forgot and cannot be bothered to remember her age) year old master's student doing her dissertation, I highly doubt that her cognitive process and vocabulary was that of a 14 year old.

With that being said, I can relate to her young arrogant self about being convinced that she was special and different from everyone else, or craving for his attention. My father was a successful TV, film and theatre director – a brilliant, highly emotional, inspiring man. I read a lot of memoirs, particularly by those in the field of mental health, and clinical/forensic psychology has always been especially fascinating to me. Th is woman knew that her former landlady, a German Jewish refugee recently converted to Christianity, had treasures and cash galore stashed among the chaos of her large house, the top two floors of which she rented out.

Given this is about her three years of clinical psychology training, we hear nothing of the training course itself, her fellow trainees, the academic programme, the different tutors she met, and only passing asides to the relentless demands of the course, such as the final-year dissertation, course essays, case presentations and exams. The author's lack of humility is unsettling and inappropriate- even as she pretends to show herself as inexperienced trainee- it is like her adult narcissism seeps through- its such a shame- because an authentic and real portrayal of these earlier cases would have been a really worthwhile read.
