I personally think Dr.Laura is a complete nut bar and more of an entertainer than a healer. I would just ask anyone to look and see what kind of Dr. she is before they take her advice too seriously.
Based on just my third-hand or skimmed knowledge of the two books, I would conjecture that Dr. Laura and Deida are looking at the exact same set of data but coming up with almost opposite conclusions. It's like Dr. Laura listened to men telling her what they wanted and decided to tell women how to give it to them and Deida, knowing what men want also, decided to tell them how to get it for themselves. So, in a way, the books affirm the same reality but have differing perspectives as to cause and effect. The problem I always had with the Dr. Laura book was that in my experience it just didn't work. Kind of like trying to catch fish by throwing worms into the water. Has anyone read Deida's book for women. I would be very curious to learn how it differs from Dr. Laura's philosophy. However, I'm willing to bet the bank that he uses the word vulnerability. Which if I complete my analogy would mean that you try to catch fish by making yourself into a tasty worm which is probably why I have some issues with the concept.- lol
