About this title

From Library Journal:

This book, written by a psychoanalyst and a psychologist/sociologist, explores the mythology of the WASPsWhite Anglo-Saxon Protestantsa group they believe is overemphasized in our culture. The authors further define WASP as being "upper middle or upper class" and go on to describe a life with which most readers will fail to identify. The authors' WASP inherits a seat on the stock exchange, goes to Harvard, and employs servants. The book is an unsubstantiated condemnation of the shallow, colorless, correct life of the unfortunate WASP. There is no bibliography. A superficial treatment; not recommended.
