Reviews

[Melvin Marsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

By far one of the most entertaining reads of anything involving Dr Erickson's discussions. Can't help thinking he has a much dirtier mind than the average psychiatrist, but it worked! I am not sure some of it would be allowed today although this is certainly an entertaining read!

Incrível. Persuasão mais sofisticada que já vi.
