Psychoanalysis
Janet Malcolm
The process known as psychoanalysis is sometimes revered, sometimes derided, and most often misunderstood. What good does it do? Can it help anyone? What risks does it pose to both patient and analyst? None of these questions can be easily answered, but in Janet Malcolm’s narrative, in which all her skills as a reporter and interviewer come into play, their complexity is limpidly revealed.
£9.99
Janet Malcolm has managed somehow to peer into the reticent, reclusive world of psychoanalysis and to report to us, with remarkable fidelity, what she has seen. Her book is journalism become art
Joseph Adelson, New York Times Book Review
