About this listen
From the best-selling 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 told on and off the psychoanalyst's couch, Lying on the Couch gives listeners a tantalizing, almost illicit glimpse at what their therapists might really be thinking during their sessions. Fascinating, engrossing, and relentlessly intelligent, it ultimately moves listeners with a denouement of surprising humanity and redemptive faith.

As fascinating as it’s possibly to be
I loved the skilful way that Yalom took us through the travails of his characters, all the while revealing so much about psychologists and their therapy theories. Everyone charged in the book in an utterly plausible believable way. Engrossing.

Internal screaming and shouting
I gave up on this book before getting to chapter 1. The story before this chapter was so bad. And I was internally screaming that the behaviour is completely unacceptable at all points throughout. That the level of frustration was beyond my ability to continue to read.
