The Impossibility of Sex Susie Orbach
Told in the form of eight stories about contemporary men and women, this text shows the thinking and practice of psychoanalysis today - the emotional encounter between analyst and client laid bare. Today's therapists are in the emotional undergrowth with their clients, knowing their feelings from inside, poking around in them so that in time they can be digested and reprocessed and given back to the analysand in a way that is both transformative and healing. Reading these stories, we may discover what ails our real-life-relationships.
