A brilliant dialogue from the therapist-comedian duo which continues where their highly acclaimed Families and How to Survive Them left off. The pair distil the wisdom of modern psychology as applied to the modes of behaviour of exceptionally healthy, average and unhealthy people within families, communities and organizations. Their perceptions and insights are presented with refreshing clarity, using humour to make obvious the most serious points in an informal style remarkably free of psychobabble. (Kirkus UK)
