Lying on the Couch: Psychotherapeutic Tales — Irvin Yalom

Lying on the Couch: Psychotherapeutic Tales by Irvin Yalom offers a penetrating look at what happens behind the scenes in therapy. In three interwoven stories, we meet Seymour, a traditional therapist whose boundaries blur with his clients; Marshal, a therapist wrestling with his own obsessive behavior and the ethics of money in therapy; and Ernest Lash, who attempts radical openness in therapy with startling consequences. Yalom explores the power dynamics, personal vulnerabilities, and ethical dilemmas that lie beneath the practice of psychotherapy. This Ukrainian edition spans 512 pages in hardcover.
