THE ABERRATION is a disturbing story that chronicles the near
dissolution of Karcher and Witte's young marriage by an unethical
female psychiatrist in Portland who seduces Karcher through
hypnotherapy. Emotionally crippled by alcoholic parents, a parade
of nannies who doubled as his mother's lovers, and the suicide of
his masculine mother, Karcher is an easy mark. Within weeks, the
doctor has him hooked and so confused, he believes his wife is the
one who controls him. But there is always hope. The book is buoyed
by narrator Karcher's unsteady progress toward reconciliation
--with his deceased mother, his wife and himself -- and by the firm
grounding provided him by his centered wife and her Maine parents.
