Imperfect Control : Our Lifelong Struggles With Power and Surrender

Rating:
Summary: Not Up To Expectations
Review: I read " Necessary Losses"and I thought this book would be its equal or better. Like most sequels, though, it falls short of the mark and left me wanting. I kept thinking, " ... and the point is?" The book is probably OK if you haven't read the first one. Otherwise, read the children's books.

Summary: A lot of theory !
Review: I saw Judith interviewed on Oprah and decided to read her book. I was finishing up my master's degree at that time and found it to have a lot of theories of control that went on and on. Her interview made the book seem more practical for info on control issues. If you are into theories and origination of how issues evolve, this is the book for you!

Summary: Worth a look
Review: This book has very good summaries of psychological research on the issues of power and control. It would be a particularly helpful book for a student writing a paper in an undergraduate class. The book is not hard to read; I finished it in 2 days. I found her chapters on romantic relationships, parenting and work relationships helpful and gained insight into my own behaviour.
