Psychology and Other Stories (Biblioasis)
Psychologists are people we love to hate. At best, they're compassionate detectives of the human soul, healers and diagnosticians, assessing the internal machinations that structure our lives and behavior. At worst, however, they're smug, hyper-educated, bombastic, yappy, socially deaf, thrice-divorced and twice-separated spouse-swapping cat-torturing perverts.
Plus, they're all in this book. And so are their patients.
C.P. Boyko's Psychology and Other Stories is a brilliant study of mental illness, mental health, and the people who try to tell them apart.
Seriously clever. - Russell Smith

"Boyko's stories boldly assert that the practice of psychology n along with its cousins, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and self-help n is a type of fiction O never preachy or didactic, the work retains a generous sense of humour throughout O However serious Psychology is in intent, it is playful in execution." - Quill & Quire Finalist for the Victoria Butler Book Prize
