About this product

Product Information

From the bestselling author of Love's Executioner and When Nietzsche Wept comes a provocative exploration of the unusual relationships three therapists form with their patients. Seymour is a therapist of the old school who blurs the boundary of sexual propriety with one of his clients. Marshal, who is haunted by his own obsessive-compulsive behaviors, is troubled by the role money plays in his dealings with his patients. Finally, there is Ernest Lash. Driven by his sincere desire to help and his faith in psychoanalysis, he invents a radically new approach to therapy -- a totally open and honest relationship with a patient that threatens to have devastating results. Exposing the many lies that are told on and off the psychoanalyst's couch, Lying on the Couch gives readers a tantalizing, almost illicit, glimpse at what their therapists might really be thinking during their sessions. Fascinating, engrossing and relentlessly intelligent, it ultimately moves readers with a denouement of surprising humanity and redemptive faith.

  • A gripping psychological thriller

    Anyone interested in or with experience of psychotherapy will be intrigued and attracted to this novel, which reads like a thriller. The fact that the author is a practising therapist of many years standing, as well as the author of a notable number of commentaries and novels which delve into the nuts and bolts of existential psychotherapy ,should attract a wide readership. His writing is very accessible and often highly entertaining as well as dealing with the serious problems life throws at us. A great read.
