Finally got around to reviewing my friend Robin Altman's book Shrink Rap on amazon.com. Here's the review, and if you have children or work with them in any capacity, please buy this book. It's hootilicious and packed with great info!
amazon review:
This book by Dr. Robin Altman is a real hoot! Shrink Rap is conveniently written in chapters titled to help parents find what ails them, or what ails their kids. All mental health problems are addressed in easily understood writing, and the touches of humor really take the bite out of what can be frustrating or frightening childhood and adolescent conditions. Some of this will really have you giggling out loud. Altman's caring for her clients and family shine through like a bright beacon and she's not afraid to laugh at herself in the process. She's also not afraid to point out frailties in her own profession, which is pretty rare in the hallowed bastions of psychiatry. Highly recommended for anyone in contact with children of all ages including babysitters, child care workers or anyone else who works with children, and would also be great for teachers and child counselors. This would be a good book for all therapists to have in their waiting room, and would also be a great gift for any of the above. - Just Another Reader

Polly, you are so nice. Thanks for the awesome review. In fact, I have just hired you as an adjunctive publicity agent. Your first job is to promote Shrink Rap in Honolulu. Tickets are waiting for you at Philadelphia Airport. Let me know how it goes!
I accept the position. Is free childcare included? I think you need two more boys, to make it a total of five.
Hey! I didn't know Hawaii was involved and I don't need child care paid for! I'll take the job.
Robin - I'm taking you (OK just your book - does that disqualify me for Hawaii?) with me to NY. Can't wait to read it! I NEED some good laughs.
Doreen: The no child care needed thing is highly tempting. However, you're disqualified by the fact that you just wrote a huge best seller. Conflict of interest and all that.
