Couch Tales

<p>A psychoanalyst sits in his consulting room waiting for the next patient. Thoughts feelings and anxieties about his own current life begin to assault him. Partly as a way of dealing with the crisis in his own life he begins to write fictional stories loosely based upon his patients' stories. Between each story the analyst produces a journal which comments upon the stories as well as his own developing personal situation. <em>Couch Tales</em> is a work of pure fiction for the psychoanalyst and the patients are imaginary. However they also reflect Roger Kennedy's work as a psychoanalyst and the way that psychoanalysis reflects in depth on peoples' lives and narratives.</p>
