Book Review

Reporting on the cases of her own patients (anonymous, of course) and experiences as a campus psychiatrist, Grossman presents a world of Orwellian doublespeak and ideology run amok.  For instance, she tells of attending a weekend conference on how to avoid offending "transgender" patients while counseling them, which she figures might account for .08 percent of the students she is likely to see. But after hearing from other students that their religious views are regularly trampled by campus medical professionals, she suggests that perhaps a similar discussion might be in order to help in dealing with the students who take their faith seriously.  "I don't think that's allowed," is the response she receives.
