I have distrusted psychoanalysis for years, but I would leap onto Grosz’s couch -- James McConnachie * The Sunday Times Books of the Year *\u003cbr\u003eThis moving book of patient portraits by the psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz will make the reader think of Freud’s keenly observed and literary-minded case studies. Writing with sympathy and insight, Mr Grosz distils 25 years of work into a series of slim, piercing chapters that read like a combination of Chekhov and Oliver Sacks -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *\u003cbr\u003eThe success of \u003ci\u003eThe Examined Life\u003c\/i\u003e by the psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz has, I think, relatively little to do with his clinical know-how; it rests, as Freud's did, on his story-telling abilities -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *\u003cbr\u003eGrosz is a superb storyteller and tells lots of his patients' stories with sensitivity, but also with great acuity.
