5.0 out of 5 stars WOMEN WILL WANT TO RETURN TO GETTING UNSTUCK, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Unstuck: Escapte three traps women face today: Anxiety, Depression and Eating discorders (Paperback)

Dr. Mintle has done a through work in this book, "Getting Unstuck." She effectively deals with many problems that not only women but also men face this day and age.

It is obvious in the way this book is written that the author has applied her twenty years of studies, training, research, clinical and personal experiences in a positive and helpful way.

One can tell from reading that this preparation has given "substance" to the book which shows that the author has demonstrated abilities to recognize and analyze emotional, physical and spiritual problems.

The excellent value of these qualities above shown in Getting Unstuck is that Dr. Mintle shows practical ways on how to properly deal with these emotional, physical and spiritual problems.

The book clearly shows not only that changes need to be made but WHY and HOW those changes can make a positive difference in modern life today.

The book and author is straight forward in the approach to "getting unstuck." The positive points are clearly made, it says what the author means and means what she says.

From the tone of the book it appears that all is done from a heart of genuine love and concern for anyone in need that will be reading the book.

This book affords a totally positive approach to seemingly impossible situations that daily face both men and women.

"Getting Unstuck" could be of tremendous help for people who are involved in helping in such places as drug rehabilitation programs, Crisis Pregnancy Centers and other such institutions for the care of hurting people.

The book to me was the very best and most helpfully written that I have ever read on such important issues of today.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a REAL WOMAN's book!, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Unstuck: Escapte three traps women face today: Anxiety, Depression and Eating discorders (Paperback)

This Dr.Mintle certainly has a handle on the issues women deal with everyday. What an honest, loving and open approach. She's like a Dr.Laura, only nice. Dr.LINDA obviously truly cares about the women in her practice, but at the same time knows how to get right to heart of their problems - and mine! Thank God for Dr.Linda. She certainly helped me get UNstuck!
