Perhaps the world's longest coming-of-age story, SHRINKWRAPPED
shows how one man's search for a better life worked-at last. In a
blue-collar Michigan town where corporal punishment was seen as
positive parenting, troubled families rarely sought professional
help. But Michael Grossman's teachers sent him to see a Freudian
psychoanalyst at age 7. It was the first of a parade of therapies
that would include Rogerian bear-hugs, Gestalt dream analysis,
Rolfing, Bioenergetics and even LSD. Sitting beside Michael on a
succession of "shrinks'" couches, the reader follows his progress
through one defense after another until he finally achieves a
joyful capacity to care for others. Untangling the complex,
sometimes eccentric and other times abusive family relationships
that enmeshed his Midwestern boyhood in the mid-20th century, the
author finally faces fundamental truths that lead to a profound
transformation. By turns funny, poignant and shocking,
Shrinkwrapped is a story of hope, of growing insight and ultimately
of love reborn.
