Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy

Product Information

It's the visual equivalent of Perry's prose style, with the emphasis always on making everything clear to the reader.

erm this was okay but I was expecting better, the client and counsellor scenario and the counsellors ideas felt abit to simplistic in the message that "we talk and thus everything falls into place with a happily ever after and we never again have that same problem" it doesnt so much acknowledge the fluency of the change and the chance that the presenting issues may come back and there is not always a permanent cure but rather a continous battle where we may have off days. By the end of the book he has been for over 30 sessions and it's funny, tender and remarkably true to life. We follow the therapist and her client who begrudgingly comes for a one off session because he has a problem with stealing.The story seemed too simplistic and wasn't really engaging, probably partly due to the many footnotes; the illustrations were rather poor and unattractive ; the font for the footnotes was so small they were almost unreadable ; the explanations in the footnotes were mostly too short to really offer an understanding, unless you already are familiar with these often complex theoretical ideas.

If you start this book you'll finish it quickly because once you're granted fly-on-the-wall access to an uber-realistic psychotherapy session it's not something you tend to walk away from in a hurry.I don't have the figures right now, but if you check into it, I think you'll find I'm right about that. Told in a witty and thought-provoking manner, each engagingly illustrated scene is accompanied by deft commentary. It provides a fresh, transparent look at the process of psychotherapy from the perspective of both the psychotherapist and the client.

There are so many problems I have with psychotherapy but like religion it's because I never "got" it.

appreciated the process tracking, thinks she does it the best amongst all the other authors of psychotherapy tales i’ve read so far.

Based on a case study of Pat (our sandal-wearing, cat-loving psychotherapist) and her new client, James (an ambitious barrister with a potentially harmful habit he can’t stop), this graphic novel follows the anxieties, frustrations, mind-wanderings and break-throughs of each, through a year of therapy sessions together. The set up with this story gives us an intimate and intense scenario, which makes us feel like we’re eavesdropping on a private session, which is effectively what the reader is doing. Her journey with one of her fictional clients was insightful and showed exactly how therapy sessions work. Her replies to the people who had asked for advice on their problems were the best I have ever read from an “agony aunt’.Besonders gelungen finde ich die Idee, den Bildern mit Sprech- und Gedankenblasen noch (optional zu lesenden) Text unten hinzuzufügen, der interessierten Leser*innen fachliche Zusatzinformationen zum Geschehen liefert. James: "I am beginning to resonate with the idea that an unacknowledged feeling can rule me, whereas I can have more control over the ones I know about. This is the third title I’ve read from Perry and as ever she is a fount of wisdom and wonderful to read. It was easy to sit and read this in one sitting mainly because it’s so accessible and also interesting.
