On the Couch: Great American Stories about Therapy Paperback - 1999
by Erica Kates (Editor)
"On the Couch" eavesdrops on the therapeutic process as some of America's best-known writers take the reader into the charged and sacred space between patient and analyst.
First line
Though the experience of loss permeates all of the stories in this book, the ones in this section focus the most intensely on it.
From the rear cover
The therapist's office remains one of the few private places in our world. On the Couch, a scintillating collection of contemporary American short stories, provides nineteen separate windows onto this intensely private experience, from the heroine in Lorrie Moore's "If Only Bert Were Here", who cannot recover from the death of her beloved cat (and who lists Haagen-Dazs as a distinct stage of mourning), to the couple in John Updike's "The Fairy Godfathers", whose passion requires the presence of their respective therapists, to the protagonist of Stephen McCauley's "The Whole Truth", who can, hilariously, barely keep straight the twisted lies she tells her therapist about her romantic entanglements.
