- W55565513 abstract "Thomas Maeder's Children of Psychiatrists and other Psych otherapists seeks to answer the question: Are shrinks' kids nuts? To study th is topic, Maeder, the son of a psychiatrist-psychoanalyst and a psych iat r ic social worker , interviewed over two hundred children of psychotherapists and a number of child psychiatrists. He portrays children of psychotherapists as emotionally vacant, unhappy, analytical , and under constant analysis by their parents.

Maeder continu all y states his beliefs as fact despite their lack ofstatistical basis. I believe th e bias of th is book is largely due to the finding of interviewees by word of mouth and through friends and aquaintances-a process the author calls randomization. Although Maed er states in his introduction that not all children of psychiatrists are impaired the entire book focuses on this topic. Moreover, Maeder appears biased; he assum es" @default.
