Between a Couch and a Hard Place
In her latest book, \”The Thief of Happiness: The Story of an Extraordinary Psychotherapy,\” Bonnie Friedman sorts through the complex, confusing, ambivalent relationship between therapist and patient by way of her own psychotherapy, revealing the seductive \”thief\” to be Friedman\’s trusted doctor, a fact that the reader realizes immediately, but that takes the author years to understand.
