Emotional minds all work alike. It's what's been fed to them that
determines lives of either joy and satisfaction or frustration and
anxiety - the markers of mental health. Academic knowledge and
intellectual levels have little or nothing to do with emotional
well-being, by the way, a reality often confounding to therapists.
The famous Talking Cure, the basis of all psychotherapy, is
explained from two perspectives: the person lying on the couch and
the other seated behind it. The author was both. Psychoanalysts
must be patients (for years) before they can practice. Joyce
candidly discusses his personal analysis describing his emotional
misfires and their causes. He then uses case studies from his
practice explaining the meaning of dreams and the causes of
neuroses, depression, relationship problems and other issues that
plague the lives of many. Joyce writes primarily for lay readers
but professional therapists can benefit also. Call it a
""tune-up."" Jargon is used sparingly and, when used, is simply
explained. Psychoanalysis is mostly common sense. Talking to the
right person, at the right time and about the right topics can be
wonderfully transformative, even curative. Joyce's easy to read
prose makes that clear.
