  Increasing numbers in our stressful modern society find themselves in the position of needing to seek psychiatric help. In this refreshingly lucid and witty book, Dr Joe Dunn takes us behind the scenes of his busy psychiatric practice. He explains how and when to seek help, but most of all, puts his readers at ease with the men and women of the profession. Using instantly engaging case studies based on practical experience, he illustrates many of the ways things can go wrong in our lives and shows some of the ways in which psychiatry can help. The author cleverly demystifies his profession while, at the same time, presenting the dark side of the human personality in a manner that is sympathetic, sensible and tolerant, discreetly making the point that 'normal' life is a myth.
