"Throop s book is a real winner. The book cuts across clinical psychology and cultural studies. It improves greatly on some similar material and attempts to trace individualism in actual policies. Throop knows the literature and has gone about a cultural critique in a sensible way." - William Epstein, Professor Emeritus, School of Social Work, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
