5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on therapeutic culture... ever?, February 8, 2006
This review is from: The Myth of Empowerment: Women and the Therapeutic Culture in America (Paperback)
Move over, other books on Therapeutic culture! There's a new king in town... although that king is a woman... and she resents being called a "king." Anyway, from chapters on Therapeutic Culture to chapters on Therapeutic Culture in America, this book has it all! Plus, it has a dust-jacket.

...They call Elvis the "King of Rock n' Roll," but they call Dana Becker the "Queen of Bustin' Empowerment-Related Myths." At least, in my house they do, because Dana Becker is my mom. Anyway, as a side-note, even though this book is 400 pages long -- and even though I suggested many sexier altenative titles for this book, such "Empowerment!" or "Empowerment! Empowerment! Empowerment!" -- there apparently wasn't enough room to thank me personally in the "Acknowledgements" page. What up with that, mom? Well... at least I got a shout-out in her first book.

Anyway, buy this book, cracker! And did I mention the dust jacket?

--Oliver Andrew Miller ("Becker" being my mother's maiden name. See how feminist she is?)
