Dangerous Hearts Dr Don Severance

It's another wild ride from author and psychologist Don Severance. In Dangerous Hearts: Who Not To Love, Dr. Severance has melded real vignettes, from his years of practicing psychotherapy, with a realistically fictitious story of the psychotherapist as professional and person. Around the profoundly impressive cases of therapy clients, a story of desire and human frailty, tenderness and strength is woven expertly. Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Severance's character, psychologist Aaron Pierce, sets up his last practice. This time it will be independent, on his terms, and in the manner that he feels will facilitate the best effects of psychotherapy. All aspects of the daily life of a full-time psychologist are incorporated. The reader is presented with the often heart-wrenching stories of his clients and the delicate, intricacies of a man who possesses the same desires and vulnerabilities. As always, Dr. Severance brings it all together in an unexpected and tense finale.
