This book offers an entertaining introduction to modern psychotherapy through the example of a peculiar patient: the Catholic Church. At the same time, it provides information about the oldest major institution in the world under the motto: What you always wanted to know about the Catholic Church but were afraid to ask. After Paul Watzlawick dedicated an enthusiastic foreword to its first edition, so much new information has emerged that a thorough revision was unavoidable. Thus, this enjoyable classic of constructive church criticism is being re-released "with a Pope Francis update." It is a book for psychotherapeutically interested atheists with a penchant for exotic cases, and for Christians who are tired of complaining: Unusual perspectives, provocative theses, astonishing solutions.
