"Tuning in Trouble does the important and long-overdue job of revealing daytime talkshows' travesty of legitimate mental health practices and professions." —Wayne Munson, Ph.D., author of All Talk: The Talkshow in Media Culture
"Tuning in Trouble is a valuable and sobering look at the bottom rung of television entertainment. The victims of the daytime talk circuses aren't just guest coaxed into showcasing their personal peccadillos on national TV; they may also include the home viewer and the mental health profession." —John Carman, television critic, San Francisco Chronicle
