Author Description

Against her best judgment and carrying a multitude of preconceived notions, Barbel checks in to a psychosomatic clinic and immediately finds her negative prejudices more than confirmed - at least in some ways. After a while, though, she discovers that the doctors and therapists can provide her with valuable assistance, and she concludes her stay on a note of gratitude. She treats her stay with great humor, a healthy dose of hyperbole, and a pinch of scathing sarcasm, but in the end recommends such an adventure.
