GOOD MORNING, MONSTER
“Anger is not a feeling; it's a defense. When you can't acknowledge your true feelings because they're too excruciating, you defend against them with anger.”
A therapist creates moving portraits of five of her most memorable patients, men and women she considers psychological heroes.

“Like Oliver Sacks, Catherine Gildiner loves her patients and Good Morning, Monster is her entertaining account of helping five of them save themselves and in the process teach her a thing or two about being a psychologist. Gildiner is a master of shoot from the hip nonfiction—funny, direct, and honest about what she sees in others and what she sees in herself. Highly readable!”
—Susan Swan, Author of The Wives of Bath and The Dead Celebrities Club
"Heartbreaking, surprising, inspiring, and profound, this is ultimately a book about the power of connection and the triumph of the human spirit."
—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
"Good Morning, Monster allows one the privilege of seeing the therapist-patient relationship as an essentially human interaction."
—JM Coetzee, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
