Resumen del Editor

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.

My best on Audible!

Can’t tell you how sad I am that I’ve finished this book-like losing a new friend! Not only a great story but quite informative on the workings of psychotherapy! Tony P. Is just so talented-I hope he narrates many more books!! Thanks for a great ride!!

Good insight into the world of psychology

Very engaging book, easy to listen for any audience interested in the psychology domain. Even though very few phrases are the of specific terminology, the book can also be interesting for professional therapists.

Love it

Light to read and interesting angle to therapy. Wish there is more twist to come

great!

a great cast of characters that were surprisingly intermingled! interesting how things turned out. amazing narrator!

Lying on the couch

Boring; ended up skipping to the end. Narrator was excellent but the book? When I walked out of the room I didn't even pause. Story wa ssdukk and charactors undeveloped. Chppy from the beginning.

My first Audible

This was my first audible book it was thoroughly enjoyable and easy to get lost in their world.

Learned a thing or two

I’m a LPC and one of my instructors suggested this book. I’m so glad I followed through. LOVED IT! The performance was wonderful and not distracting at all, flowed very nicely.
I recommend it.

Delicious book

I think this may be the sixth time I’ve read/listened to this book. Right now I needed relief from the news, political analysis and history. It’s a great story, but it’s also full of so much wisdom. I actually recommended it to my current therapist.

Cunningly Inventive

Fantastic character development, intriguingly intertwining storylines and a great narrator. i definitely recommend this book and am eager to read more by this author.

A romp through psychotherapy

Does psychotherapy work? That depends on how you work it. Here is a hilarious account of how psychotherapists and their patients connive to get rich, get laid or get even. A funny and surprising page turner. I couldn't put it down.
