Product Description

Review

"Luepnitz's lucid writing makes the five case studies in this volume read like short stories, rich with sympathetic characters and vivid situations.... In her writing, [Luepnitz] allows us to look over her shoulder and see...miracles happen." Boston Globe


Product Description

"Deborah Anna Luepnitz has written a masterpiece about the living, breathing relationship of psychotherapist and client."--Linda Austin, M.D., author of What's Holding You Back. Each generation of therapists can boast of only a few writers like Deborah Luepnitz, whose sympathy and wit shine through a fine, luminous prose. In Schopenhauer's Porcupines she recounts five true stories from her practice, stories of patients who range from the super-rich to the homeless and who grapple with panic attacks, psychosomatic illness, marital despair, and sexual recklessness. Intimate, original, and triumphantly funny, Schopenhauer's Porcupines goes further than any other book in unveiling the secrets of "how talking helps."

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully clear and well-written, 6 Jan 2004
By Pablo43 (London) - See all my reviews
I was recommended this book by one of my course tutors and I have not been disappointed. The five case studies are very interesting and Dr Luepntiz's prose is very easy to read. Informative, humane and compassionate.
