Psychotherapist and author Dr Lillian B. Rubin offers us an insight into the world of therapy in this book. She describes her most fascinating and challenging cases from "the other side of the couch", as she takes readers on a journey through the human psyche. Through seven stories, she reveals her personal struggle to leave behind traditional psychoanalytic training and adopt unorthodox methods, when the nature of her clients means that the rules have to be bent or broken.
