I join the ranks of those chagrined at the apparent
mess Lauren Slater made of the Skinner story, but I'm still planning to read
it. (I'll give a book report for TIPS if anyone is interested.) I've
been a fan of her writing, though she does have some rather challenging
ideas. Two of her books, Prozac Diary, and Love Works Like
This: Moving from One Kind of Life to Another are both amazing
reads. Another, Welcome to My Country: A Therapist's Memoir
of Madness is on my list. She was one of the first people ever to
take Prozac, and found the decision about whether to continue it while pregnant
with her first child to be wrenching. Her severe and debilitating mental
illness is richly described. I'm not letting her off the hook for possible
breaches in her Skinner book until I've read it, but I don't hesitate to
recommend the other two books as interesting reads.
