About this title

Synopsis

How does psychotherapy work? What is the role of a therapist? And what do therapists do when their wish for professional advancement is blocked? This ground-breaking novel looks at these questions in a frank and engaging way, following the progress of David Treuherz, a clinician, as he attempts to juggle his working life with the turbulence of his personal life. In this vivid picture of a therapist at work, the intimacy of the clinical encounter is movingly delineated. Central to the story is David’s struggle to secure further training, and his own experience as a patient, as well as a therapist. Can David be successful in getting the advancement he seeks? And can he build a relationship with the attractive Clara? This is a book for anyone who wants to explore what it means to be a therapist – or a patient.
