Mockingbird Years
A Life In and Out of Therapy
This is an Advanced Reader's Copy (which some consider the true first edition) and not
the hardcover version as stated above.
VERY RARE ADVANCED READERS COPY, ALSO KNOW IN THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS AS AN ARC, UNCORRECTED READERS PROOF AND OR A BOUND GALLEY.
Proofs are printed in advance of publication. Typically, proofs have very low print runs. Most proofs are extremely hard to come by and can become highly sought after collector's items, sometimes increasing dramatically in value.
Mockingbird Years is not, perhaps, the ideal book to give to your therapist friends; it is, however, both a wickedly original personal history and a ringing critique of the therapy culture. A Life in and out of Therapy, the subtitle calls it, but as far as the bulk of the book is concerned, that's mostly in. An awkward, difficult, probably learning-disabled child, Emily Fox Gordon was a veteran of five different psychologists by the time she turned 17. She then spent several years of enforced idleness at a Massachusetts psychiatric hospital. But she's no girl interrupted: her stint in the bin was in fact the culmination of several fantasies--better in every way, the adolescent Gordon thought, than its alternative of going to college.
In very good used condition.
No reserve at all! GOOD LUCK!
