Off the Couch

An irreverent look at psychoanalytic practice
"On the surface, Noé Marchevsky has written a comical cartoon book, but as one allows oneself to revel in the stereotypes, we realize that he has in fact brilliantly captured some of the more perverse, sadistic, and narcissistic interpretative comments still rendered by so many contemporary mental health practitioners. This book should certainly be required reading for every trainee in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, but above all, it should be studied at length by qualified practitioners so that we may examine the ossified strategies that we use in practice, often beyond our awareness." — Brett Kahr, Winnicott Clinic Senior Research Fellow in Psychotherapy, Regent’s College, London
