In the book Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy, Philippa Perry turns her keen eye to the power of psychotherapy. This gripping case study of psychotherapy in the form of a graphic novel vividly explores year-long therapy sessions with a patient, while examining a wide range of skills, perspectives, and techniques.Although it superficially appears to be a simple story, the narration of these fictional sessions is done without reservations, with honesty, insight, and humor, to show how psychotherapy can be used to achieve radical and permanent change.
Funny and honest, it is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the human psyche and a source of essential knowledge for every future psychotherapist.
One thing is for sure: the book Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy will win over readers who want to learn how psychotherapy works from both the perspective of the patient and the therapist. A fresh approach, illustrated by author and illustrator Flo Perry (How to Have Feminist Sex), accompanied by concise and enlightening footnotes. I loved it! I was smiling and laughing. And nodding in agreement. You must read it! Prof. Susie Orbach, psychotherapist and author. Incredible and fun! It shows how psychotherapy works with all the joy that cartoons offer! Oliver James, clinical psychologist, author, and TV presenter.
