American Psycho-babble - By: Tracey, 31 Aug 2007
The theory & model proposed in this book is a bit dated. It was gospel in 1992 & Pia Mellody was a household name with therapists & their clients in the UK. Many clients had it shoved down their neck as "the truth". I guess you would have to read it for yourself to know what everyone was raving about then, but I wouldn't bother reading it today. At the end of the day, it is only one theory to explain the complexity of human relationships, & a pretty limited one. People are much more complex than the simple attraction/avoidance dance she illustrates. Life has moved on & there are many more realistic theories & models now.
American Blah Blah but some things useful - By: , 01 Apr 2005
wouldn't buy this book to save a relationship. but there were a few enlightening moments.
both technical and approachable - By: , 01 Dec 1999
It took me a second reading to recognise the depth of insight which Pia mellody has to the problems of 'love addicts' & the avoidant partners who they suck in & are sucked towards. The book is by no means light & easy reading but it is structured in a way which will help anyone who truly wants to to benefit from it.
