Mariana Craciun is assistant professor of sociology at Tulane University.
"""Empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated and highly readable, Craciun's book takes readers into the very interstices of psychotherapeutic training, and shows how residents grow from hard-nosed, biomedical skeptics into competent behavioral and psychodynamic therapists. The beauty of Craciun’s argument is that she analyzes skepticism not as an obstacle, but as a necessary step in a process of professional socialization that will conclude with competency and trust. In an age of mistrust, skepticism’s less disciplined cousin, the lessons that Craciun’s book teaches will resonate far beyond the field of psychotherapeutic training."" -- Gil Eyal, Columbia University"
