In
this highly provocative book, Stephen Ray Flora maintains that we
have been deceived into believing that whatever one's psychological
problem--from anxiety, anorexia, bulimia, depression, phobias,
sleeping and sexual difficulties to schizophrenia--there is a drug
to cure us. In contrast, he argues that these problems are
behavioral, not chemical, and he advocates behavioral therapy as an
antidote. 
Sharing
your life with others, especially people you don't yet know, can be
difficult. Writing a journal also takes some time, energy and real
commitment. Imagine pouring your thoughts and feelings out a few
times a week.
