"""Touching. . . . Powerful. . . . Lovely. . . . The contributors to On the Couch write in the hope of resuscitating not so much Freudianism as Sigmund Freud the man.""---Joseph Epstein, Wall Street Journal ""Entertainingly diverse. Surprises — like Freudian slips — are everywhere.""---Ron Charles, Washington Post ""[A] lively volume. . . . Taking tacts both personal and psycholanalytical, these essays paint a fresh, full picture of Freud’s life, work, and indelible cultural impact."" * The Millions * ""A collection of authors’ fascinating thoughts on Freud.""---Gabrielle Bellot, Literary Hub ""At a time when Freud is so easily written off as ‘an anachronism or a punch line,’ when ‘his story is one that many people think they know,’ [On the Couch] pushes against the myth of that single, already-familiar story by offering unique lines of reasoning and association about a vast array of issues related to him. . . . A solid collage of voices to complicate our picture of psychoanalysis. "" * Kirkus Reviews * ""Rich. . . . This lively collection of essays confirms Freud’s continued importance.""---Donald Weber, Jewish Book Council"
