Worldwide, an increasingly diverse and growing number of people are seeking therapy. We go to address past traumas, to break patterns of behaviour, to confront eating disorders or addiction, to talk about relationships, or simply because we want to find out more about ourselves. Susie Orbach has been a psychotherapist for over forty years. Also a million-copy bestselling author, The New York Times called her the 'most famous psychotherapist to have set up couch in Britain since Sigmund Freud'. Here, she explores what goes on in the process of therapy through a series of dramatized case studies. Insightful and honest about a process often necessarily shrouded in secrecy, In Therapy: The Unfolding Story is an essential read for those curious about, or considering entering, therapy. This complete edition takes us deeper into the world of therapy, with 13 further sessions and a new introduction.

Here are fascinating articles on sex, jealousy, anger, intimacy, loss, food problems, parent/child relationships, sibling rivalry and much more...from Susie Orbach, truly innovative therapist and a highly accessible writer. Together they result in a coherent and profoundly perceptive exploration of our emotional lives. 'We have no shared language for emotional life...What continues to engage me is the desire to increase our understanding of the intersection of the very private, intimate world and the structures of the wider public sphere' - Susie Orbach
