While the root of her analysis is clinical, she intersperses these assessments with anecdotes from her lived experience that make this a very readable piece of cultural criticism. My one critique would be that I wanted more information on the biological components of the psychological theory, but I can appreciate that this work is still quite "new" in the grand scheme of it all. Overall, if you are looking to understand the world a little bit better, I would highly recommend this work.
