Publisher's Synopsis

This investigative report reveals the harmful and destructive impact that popular TV talk shows have on their guests and viewers alike. The book shows how attention–grabbing segments designed exclusively to bolster ratings often leave guests emotionally devastated. Tuning in Trouble convincingly shows how "talk TV" makes a mockery of the mental health profession by obscuring the fact that recovery is almost always a long, painful process.
