5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Psychology Book I Have Ever Read!, October 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fantasy Bond : Structure of Psychological Defenses (Paperback)
I have been in recovery due to severe childhood abuse and addiction. I have a B.A. in Psychology. I have read many self-help books and psychology texts, and this is the best there is! If I had highlighted text that was important to me, the whole book would be yellow! Every sentence is replete with meaning. This book helped me tremendously. I recommend this book for anyone interested in introspection and personal growth.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Bible, January 8, 2003
By 
Taylor (RESTON, VA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fantasy Bond : Structure of Psychological Defenses (Paperback)
This excellent book has changed my life, helping me to become a happier person and putting me on the road to my first good relationship. As I was reading it, I would come to new chapters and say, "well this certainly doesn't apply to me" (e.g. "Idealization of the Family"), but I quickly learned that those chapters did indeed apply. I now refer to it as my Bible because I so often talk about it to my friends and encourage them to read it. The section on Theoretcial Issues is probably too academic for most readers, and I am skeptical about how much schizophrenics can really be helped by these techniques. But I think the general population would be greatly helped by the ideas in the book.
