I recognize this is a very old and outdated article, I just wanted to bring it to the author, reader (and the Globe's) attention that both the review of this book and the book itself is NOT, in my opinion, based on responsible journalism. In actual reality, a lot of these "facts" are not so... a lot of statements made, are based on hearsay, as well as a grave misunderstanding of the mind of a sufferer. Speaking from someone who's life was saved by this method and philosophy, I must say it makes me incredibly sad to know that articles like this are reported from a place of misunderstanding and lack of accurate information. Is there a 100% success rate with any type of treatment? No. There is no perfection in anything in life. BUT, I will say in my mind if someone had the fortune of experiencing this type of compassionate, empathetic treatment for the length of time needed (which varies but considerably saves "revolving door" hospitalizations) this could save many lives (like mine).
