Walking home on a gothic-like snowy night after having gone to watch the movie Nosferatu 🧛♀️
3. Tell me the Truth About Love by Susanna Abse. Wonderfully written tales of the sorts of conflicts and dynamics that couples bring to psychotherapy
2. Schopenhauer’s Porcupines by Deborah Luepnitz. Five sensitively written, longer accounts of struggles with intimacy
If you wanted to read a book that gives a sense of what happens in #psychoanalytic #psychotherapy, these 3 books are excellent:
1. The Examined Life by Stephen Grosz. A beautifully written series of short accounts of deep emotional conflicts that are explored in the consulting room
