Review:
Read and re-read the exchanges; it's worth it. * The i * Praise for the In Therapy radio show: 'The episodes bring a new meaning to the term psychodrama and are a compulsive listen. ... There is no denying ... how gripping her radio programme is.' * The Times * Susie Orbach's stories from the couch are warm, revealing and irresistible * Guardian * These 15-minute short stories from the couch proved strangely addictive. ... thought provoking. * Irish News * Praise for Bodies: Original in her diagnoses and sympathetic in her treatment, she comes across as the intellectual lovechild of Freud and Trisha. How could this not be compulsive reading? * Daily Mail * Praise for Fat is a Feminist Issue: 'Virtually all feminist debate on body image and beauty imagery owes its existence to Susie Orbach. -- Naomi Wolf, author * The Beauty Myth * Invaluable * FT *
