From Caroline Comeaux Lee’s Review on PsychCentral

Riveting. Humorous. Quirky. Satirical. In other words, I could not put it down. At times funny and others deeply unnerving, Shrunk takes a satirical look at the people who are a part of the psychotherapy profession. . .

What makes this book so superb is that Hogart is not writing from the perspective of a disgruntled or skeptical client. Behind his penname, the author has spent years as a practicing psychotherapist. According to his website, he has also served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School.  I am not sure that there is a better position to be in to write such a novel. . .

Within three chapters, I was intrigued. By one hundred pages, I was engrossed and anxious to find out what would happen…

By two hundred pages, I had lost count of the number of times I chuckled, was surprised, or felt infuriated for the Avalons. For those who believe that all therapists are crazy, Hogart’s novel will give them a quintessential example to point to. For everyone else, Shrunk is an enjoyable, entertaining, and humorous dark glimpse into the world of psychiatry.
