Daicoff (Florida Coastal School of Law) practiced corporate, tax, and securities law for some five years before becoming a law professor in 1995, and also holds a master"s degree in clinical psychology. She examines the lawyer personality and how lawyers differ from other people; the current lack of professionalism and respect in the profession and what has led to it; why despite professional success there is a relatively high level of dissatisfaction, depression, and substance abuse among lawyers; and the possibilities for a new model of humanistic, satisfying lawyering in the future. For lawyers, law students, and others in the legal professions. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
