The Disease To Please

Harriet Braiker’s book an easy read.  It isn’t weighted with theory or too many examples.  The reader can quickly learn what kind of “pleaser” they are, and the book ends with a twenty-one day plan to turn around a pattern of pleasing that would otherwise render one hopelessly depressed, angry and/or exhausted…which is how many people are when they first come for counseling. This is another standard homework assignment for clients who want to shorten their time in the therapy office.
