Academic and/or non-academic, [psychogeography] sprawls across traditional boundaries of subject matter in a way that I find delightful; I loved this book for its diversity, quirkiness, and thoughtfulness … [This book] is rich, witty, thought provoking. For any therapist who embraces a social constructionist view of the self, it is a wonderful read!
