Listening In allows the reader to eavesdrop behind the closed door of the therapy room, where private and personal lives are stripped bare. Forty-something Patrick Chime is a talented therapist but terrible husband. When a client demands Patrick's personal, as well as professional, involvement in his life, he is forced to evaluate not only the true worth of the therapy but also the cost to him of a life spent listening in. As his world starts to unravel, and he learns more about his client's obsessions with the artist Degas and internet sex, Patrick comes to appreciate the parallels between therapy and prostitution and starts to question which is more genuine... Listening In is the debut novel by sexual counsellor and marital therapist Kevin Chandler.

Review:
A cleverly ironic tale of love, betrayal and self-deception. A compelling read. --Zelda West-Meads, Mail on Sunday
Synopsis:
The therapist and prostitute have more in common than you think. Both charge by the hour for intimate services that most people find for free within a personal relationship, and both conceal their personal selves behind their professional personas and strict rules of engagement. Patrick Chime, is a disenchanted forty-something. A talented therapist but a terrible husband. When a gun-toting former client and social misfit, obsessed by the artist Degas, walks into his office, Patrick's own world starts to unravel as he's forced to tackle his own personal demons. The novel traces Patrick's private and personal life over the course of two months during which the unravelling of two powerful secrets cause his private life to implode and deep cracks to appear in his professional self. As the title suggests "Listening In" allows readers to eavesdrop behind the closed door of the therapy room, and hear rather more than they might expect.
