“If Freud or Jung had set out to write a psychological thriller, I doubt that either one could have come up with a yarn as taut and telling.” -- Los Angeles Times“Lying on the Couch is a witty, gripping and hugely entertaining novel from which the reader effortlessly learns a great deal about the theory and practice of psychotherapy.” -- David Lodge, author of Therapy and The Art of Fiction"A dazzling psychiatric whodunit ...Yalom brings to his latest work of fiction an authentic mastery of the techniques of psychotherapy and a real genius for showing the reader what is really going on inside the head of a psychiatrist while he or she is shrinking someone." -- Los Angeles Times“[A] hilariously intricate tale ...This may be the funniest and most sensitive novel ever written about psychoanalysis.” -- San Jose Mercury News“[Yalom's] insight into his own profession is sharp and merciless, recalling both Oliver Sacks and Studs Terkel. This is a novel for anyone who wants to know how the mind of a psychotherapist really works.” -- San Francisco Chronicle
