LYING ON THE COUCH (existentialist psych) Irvin D.Yalom
1996 HarperPerennial (Harper Collins) 13 bucksBLURBS:
"A dazzling psychiatric whodunit...Yalom brings to his latest work of fiction an authentic mastery of the techniques of psychotherapy AND a real genius for showing the reader what is really going on inside the head of a psychiatrist while he or she is shrinking someone." Los Angeles Times
"A hilariously intricate tale... This may be the funniest and most sensitive novel ever written about psychoanalysis." San Jose Mercury news
"Yalom's insight into his own profession is sharp and merciless, recalling both Oliver Sacks and Studs Terkel. This is a novel for anyone who wants to know how the mind of a psychotherapist really works." San Fransisco Chronicle.
