About this book
A practising psychotherapist recounts ten encounters from his consulting room: a widow who cannot relinquish a lost love, a man undone by obsession, patients circling grief, desire, ageing and the fear of death. Each case unfolds as a short narrative, with the therapist's own doubts, irritations and misjudgements left visible on the page. Set largely within the confines of the therapy hour, the tension lies in what is admitted and what is evaded between two people. The tone is candid and unsentimental, curious about how minds defend themselves, and attentive to the ordinary difficulty of telling the truth.
