Every year\, nearly 30 million Americans s it on a therapist&rsquo\;s couch&mdash\;and some of these patients are the rapists. In her remarkable book \;Maybe You Should Talk to Someone\, L ori Gottlieb tells us that despite her license and rigorous training\, her most significant credential is that she&rsquo\;s a card-carrying member o f the human race. &ldquo\;I know what it&rsquo\;s like to be a person\,&rd quo\; she writes\, as a crisis causes her world to come crashing down.
\nEnter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardigan\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. In her book\, Lori explores the inner chambers of her patients&rsquo\; lives&mdash\;a self-absorbed Hollywood producer\, a youn g newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citizen threatenin g to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, and a twenty-so mething who can&rsquo\;t stop hooking up with the wrong guys (even one fro m the waiting room)&mdash\;she finds that the questions they are strugglin g with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
