ABSTRACT

With his soft-spoken Southern accent, FRANK PITTMAN sounds more like a poet than one of the most provocative therapists operating today. He thinks he looks like Elmer Fudd, neither particularly distinguished nor frightening. “I don't scare people much when they see me,” Pittman says. It doesn't take long after he opens his mouth, however, for his clients and audiences to discover that he sees part of his job as being able to “piss people off.”
