Through psychotherapy we come to a better understanding of human emotions. This fascinating new book opens the door of the therapy room to reveal the inner workings of the relationship between patient and therapist. In these intriguing accounts, Susie Orbach, the celebrated author of Fat is a Feminist Issue, presents us with six imaginary clinical cases, including Adam, the serial seducer, Belle, the compulsive liar and Joanne, the self-mutilator. Through them, Orbach demonstrates the way the therapist analyses her own feelings as well as those of the other person, making the therapy relationship a uniquely special place in where discoveries can be made, which enable the patient to change.
