- Synopsis
- In this book, we meet a man who can't let anyone get within a certain distance of his nose, two kleptomaniacs from very different walks of life, an Internet addict who chooses virtual life over real life, a professor with a dangerous gambling habit, and others with equally debilitating compulsive conditions. Elias Aboujaoude tells stories inspired by memorable patients he has treated, taking us from initial contact through the stages of the doctor-patient relationship.
