Synopsis:

Do you ever wonder why you do the things you do?

Do you lie awake at night wondering why you continue to repeat self-defeating patterns, over and over again, even though you want to change?

This is a guide to understanding these and other mysteries of the mind and how you can change for the better.

WISDOM FROM THE COUCH is an intelligent and sophisticated volume that applies the wisdom of contemporary psychoanalytic theory and clinical experience to everyday life.

Complex psychological dynamics are made accessible as the reader comes to understand how the unconscious mind works in terms of growth, love, work, finding direction and making peace with ourselves and one another.

This is a timely and much-needed alternative to quick-fix self-help models.

The book illustrates how the unconscious mind works through the use of timeless myths, spiritual traditions, literature, popular culture and Jennifer Kunst's experiences as a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst.

Dr. Kunst writes the popular blog, A Headshrinker's Guide to the Galaxy, for the Psychology Today website.
