I was very intrigued by this book because I am in college and majoring in Psychology. I have always been really interested in different stories as told by a psychiatrist. I had been looking forward to reading this book for quite some time and was finally able to do so. Needless to say, the book did not let me down. I found the authors stories to be fascinating and sometimes humorous. It makes me wonder what types of cases I might be involved in later on down the road when I begin my career in this field. I really enjoyed the fact that the diagnosis was explained in each case. I am still learning a lot about the psychology field so some of the terminology is still very new to me.
This book has actually inspired me to take a class in abnormal psychology, which I will be starting in about two weeks. I love the fact that Dr. Small invests a lot of his time in studying Alzheimer’s and dementia. These are two areas that interest me as well. All in all, I really enjoyed this book. However, it did take me a while to get through it. I think sometimes I needed to get away from “learning” for a little bit. Not only was I reading this book on psychology but I was also studying it in my classes. Sometimes too much of something isn’t always good. I am looking forward to reading more books similar to this one so that I can broaden my horizons in terms of the psychological field and I encourage those that are seeking a career in this field to pick up this book and enjoy some strange yet fascinating stories.
