The Naked Lady Who Stood on Her Head: A Psychiatrist's Stories of His Most Bizarre Cases
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


Enjoyable book covering Dr Gary Small's career from his early residency in 1978 through his practice and research to 2008. Realizing these cases are summarized for writing purposes, as many patients were treated for years by Dr Small, I found them interesting and educational. He weaves in small pieces of his personal life to show he's a person too, not only a psychiatrist. It's written in lay terms to allow the general public insight into some bizarre behavior brought on by mental illness.
