Psychotherapists in training, give me a show of hands: How often you wish you were a fly on the wall in your favourite psychotherapist’s office? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Well, there is a book that’ll get you as close to listen in on real sessions as possible: “Schopenhauer’s Porcupines” by Deborah Luepnitz.

Forget about 400-pages of *yaaaawwwnnn*, this one reads like a thriller you cannot put down. Thank me later, enjoy.

Do I have 10 books on my “to-be-read pile”? Yes. Do I buy new ones? Also yes 📚🔜

Here are three new books that arrived in my mailbox today:
1️⃣ Alfred Adler: His Collected Works (in the German original)
2️⃣ Donald W. Winnicott: Human Nature (his posthumous published attempt to unify his theory?)
3️⃣ Anna Freud: The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence (also in the German original)

Happy reading 📖

We've read Erich Fromm's "The Art of Loving" in our August Book Club over on Patreon.

I know this book has a wide international fanbase but, unfortunately, I really didn’t like it.

It read like a self-help book with a social critique and from a psychodynamic stand point, I didn't get anything useful out of it.

Parallel to this I was reading Jessica Benjamin's "Bonds of Love" (still not done) and found it much more rich, stimulating, and giving me an interesting insight into the domination-submission aspects of love.

Have you read Erich Fromm? If yes, how did you like it?
