Summary: Getting Real is "Right On!"
Comment: I think Getting Real is "Right On"! I read the book and really found it helpful in understanding myself and how I deal with certain situations. What I liked particularly is that it was "down to earth" - in language I could understand - with examples anyone could relate to. It was easy and interesting to read (not like a boring text book). Yet at the same time, the book makes you think about yourself and probe deep inside with the intent of self-awareness and self-improvement. Everyone should read this book!

Summary: brilliant
Comment: i am a student of self-help books with a psychological bent; as such, i did not expect to learn much when i picked up this book. i was stunned by the fascinating and creative approach dr. saltz takes to these issues -- she looks at emotional problems in a unique and dynamic way. the book was so much more enlightening than the standard psychoanalytic explanations that one usually hears from the likes of dr. phil -- here, at last, clear and believable explanations for how childhood affects adult life, and why we become the people we become. her narrative voice is smart, yet refreshingly friendly and funny -- i felt as though i knew her by the time the book was done.
when you finish the book, you'll wish you could sit on her couch! marvelous, entertaining and eye-opening -- i highly recommend.

Summary: pop psychology gone bad
Comment: This was such a waste; I didn't even finish it (and I'm a real book lover). It was clearly written for a female audience, but that's not obvious when you buy it! Also, she seems to be neo-Freudian with her wanting to go back to our childhood to see why we made up the "stories" that still govern our lives. This, of course, is in contrast to today's generally accepted psychotherapy of CBT.
She provides 3 (or 4?) lame questionnaires that are supposed to tell you what your personality type is, but each questionnaire is only 20 questions. You can get a more accurate picture of yourself online for free.
Some of her analyses of patients seem contradictory, and although the anecdotes are somewhat interesting I could find *none* that came close to my situation. I still don't know what my "stories" are, and even if I did, I'd have no clue how to rewrite them.
Don't waste your money.
