Someone just brought in THREE volumes from that series for one of my patients.
We have to screen books coming in to make sure that nothing with violent or sexual content gets onto the unit. There's enough violent and sexual content there already, without bringing in how-to guides.
So anyway, I check the books, and mention to the visitor that I had just been having some discussion regarding this series, and that people seemed to have strong opinions about it, either really enjoying them, or finding them really boring.
His response? "I never really liked them, but I brought them for my brother because they calm him down a lot, and I thought that would help."
Bibliotherapy. Gotta love it.
