Description
Worldwide, an increasingly diverse and growing number of people are seeking therapy. We go to address past traumas, to break patterns of behaviour, to confront eating disorders or addiction, to talk about relationships, or simply because we want to find out more about ourselves.
Susie Orbach has been a psychotherapist for over forty years. Also a million-copy bestselling author, The New York Times called her the 'most famous psychotherapist to have set up couch in Britain since Sigmund Freud'. Here, she explores what goes on in the process of therapy through a series of dramatized case studies.
Insightful and honest about a process often necessarily shrouded in secrecy, In Therapy: The Unfolding Story is an essential read for those curious about, or considering entering, therapy. This complete edition takes us deeper into the world of therapy, with 13 further sessions and a new introduction.

Reviews / Votes
Invaluable * Financial Times * Susie Orbach's stories from the couch are warm, revealing and irresistible * Guardian * Brings a new meaning to the term psychodrama. Compulsive. * The Times * 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 * 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 of The Beauty Myth
