‘I want to change, but not if it means changing,' a patient once said to me in complete innocence

What do we do when we find ourselves trapped by our own thoughts or behaviour? Drawing on his twenty-five years’ experience as a psychoanalyst, Stephen Grosz ushers the reader through the door of his consulting room and into the minds of his patients. In these beautifully told cases we find compulsive liars, deceived spouses, violent children and delusional adults but we also find ourselves and in doing so, understand a little more about what it is to be human.

Selected from The Examined Life.

„Vreau sa ma schimb, dar nu daca inseamna schimbare”, mi-a spus odata un pacient cu inocenta completa. Ce facem atunci cand ne gasim prinsi de propriile noastre ganduri sau comportament? Bazandu-se pe experienta sa de douazeci si cinci de ani de psihanalist, Stephen Grosz introduce cititorul prin usa camerei sale de consultanta si in mintea pacientilor sai.
