Welcome to Litsy!

3.5/5
Interesting read if you're curious about how counseling works. The footnotes were very useful to understand the process. They also put things into perspective by reminding us that a counselor/psychotherapist is human, and as such not always perfect, and that's okay.
Here we follow one patient. It would have been really, really nice to have different patients with different pathologies/problems.

Short GN looking at the relationship between therapist and patient. Humorous and thought provoking.

(New edition with illustrations by Flo Perry)

At the bottom the footnotes say "When Freud and a patient made a breakthrough they often paused for a celebratory cigar to let the realisation sink in, but that's not Pat's [the therapist] style." ?
