What Women Want by Maxine Mei-Fung Chung

Posted

I requested this book as I was pulled in by the eye catching front cover design and the title of the book. Finally a chance to get an insight into what other women want! I was also hoping that the book would be written in a way that it would be meaningful to buy copies for my male friends so they could understand the needs of women and what we are really looking for. 

The book is well written, and shares stories of seven different women who all have been in psychotherapy with Maxine Mei-Fung Chung for shorter or longer times. It gives a good description of the interaction between the women seeking help and the professional and how the sessions help them to develop as persons, and in some cases reclaim their own personalities. There is plenty of detail and I liked how Maxine Mei-Fung Chung guides the clients through the sessions with tender probing and open questions.

It was not at all what I expected; perhaps I read the synopsis too quickly and misunderstood the content. 

Still, it was an enlightening and empowering read.

Operation Starfish has one goal: to remove domestic violence survivors from danger. But when a mission backfires in tragedy, the band of bikers who founded OpStar dissolves the organization and their ride-or-die friendship. Five years later Amanda, Sidney, and Cassandra are brought back together by the same thing that tore them apart when the man who victimized his wife is murdered, and all signs point to Cassandra.
