This review is from: Low Self-Esteem Misunderstood & Misdiagnosed (Paperback)

This book is as interesting as her earlier book and it's worth reading if you are suffering from depression,anxiety,anger,loneliness,fear of failure,or negative view of yourself and others. Medication can mask the symptoms you are suffering but nothing will not be solved by medicines if your real problem is low self-esteem built by the experiences from childfood. Before you plan to see a theapist,read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION!!!, August 24, 2001

Kathy Henderson (The Great Northwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Low Self-Esteem Misunderstood & Misdiagnosed (Paperback)

As in her first book, Dr. Sorensen reveals amazing insights about low self-esteem that others have obviously not recognized. In fact, her understanding of the issue of low self-esteem could result in amazing and far reaching changes in how therapists and others treat this problem. Hopefully, her insights in both this and her first book, "Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem", will help society finally realize the seriousness of the problem, will help people recognize that low self-esteem is a valid disorder that should be given the attention and validation it deserves, and that people will also recognize that low self-esteem is not easily overcome.

This review is from: Low Self-Esteem Misunderstood & Misdiagnosed (Paperback)

Low Self-Esteem: Misunderstood & Misdiagnosed by clinical psychologist Marilyn Sorensen (founder and director of The Self-Esteem Institute) is a candid, straightforward look at what low self-esteem really is, its harmful effects, why it is frequently misdiagnosed and how sufferers can best find the help they need. An excellent book written specifically for people who have tried to seek help and found nothing useful Low Self-Esteem is highly recommended reading, the non-specialist general reader, as well as psychology students and novice therapists seeking more information and perspectives on the chronic issues and problems arising from a condition of low self-esteem.
