Lying on the Couch

Irvin D. Yalom's novel turns from patients to the therapists who treat them, following three California psychotherapists and the unusual relationships they form with their clients. Seymour, a therapist of the old school, blurs the line of sexual propriety with a client. Marshal struggles with obsessive-compulsive habits of his own and with the place of money in his work with patients. Ernest Lash, driven by a sincere wish to help and by faith in psychoanalysis, tries a radical new approach: a fully open and honest relationship with a patient. Yalom's earlier books include When Nietzsche Wept and Love's Executioner.
