DSM-K for Kepele is a witty, one-of-a-kind fusion of psychiatry and Yiddish culture from the mind of Dr. Jolie Pataki, a psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience-and a Jew for more than twice as long.

With tongue-in-cheek "disorders" like Kvetch Disorder, Plotz Attacks, and Folie-A-Jew, Dr. Pataki pokes fun at the quirks of human nature, psychiatric practice, and cultural ...
DSM-K for Kepele is a witty, one-of-a-kind fusion of psychiatry and Yiddish culture from the mind of Dr. Jolie Pataki, a psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience-and a Jew for more than twice as long. Through the humorous lens of her alter-ego, Dr. Fackacta, she offers a fresh (and hilarious) take on mental health diagnoses, replacing clinical jargon with the most accurately descriptive language ever spoken: Yiddish. With tongue-in-cheek "disorders" like Kvetch Disorder, Plotz Attacks, and Folie-A-Jew, Dr. Pataki pokes fun at the quirks of human nature, psychiatric practice, and cultural traditions alike. Whether you're a mental health professional, a lover of Jewish humor, or just someone who appreciates a good "oy vey," this book delivers insight and laughs in equal measure. Packed with cultural references, clever definitions, and compassionate wit, DSM-K for Kepele is more than a parody-it's a celebration of the richness (and ridiculousness) of human behavior. Read it, share it, and maybe even self-diagnose-at your own risk, of course.
