Reviews and Endorsements
'He writes compellingly... Because he loves literature and plainly loves writing too, Adam Phillips makes psychoanalysis plausible to the outsider. By questioning its aims and qualifying its claims, he reduces its scientific pretensions but makes it a lot more credible as therapy.'
- Christian Tyler, Financial Times;
'A brilliant collection of essays around the subjects in which Phillips excels.'
- Melvyn Bragg, Observer
