In this classic volume available now once again, Jay Haley in the controversial title article, proposes an original interpretation of the Bible analyzing Jesus' actions as a man trying to build a mass movement to topple a power structure. Using wit and wry humor, Haley in the other essays discusses such topics as: what it takes to be schizophrenic; the art and technique required to have an awful marriage; and how to be an awful therapist. His rationale for a directive therapy is the subject of other essays.
