Based on a highly regarded article in Psychology Today that has been reprinted worldwide, Think Like a Shrink is a personality primer that refines years of psychiatric training into 100 principles. Incorporating the most basic fundamentals that drive the human personality, these principles are short, clear, and simple, but not simplistic. They include enlightening observations and real eye-openers, such as:

• Some people never forgive a favor.
• In any marriage, there can only be one number one.
• Too much love may mean hate; too much hate may mean love.
• Successful neuroses help people fail.
• Electra and Oedipus keep psychiatrists in business.
