Only a writer and thinker as agile as Lillian Rubin could offer such compelling stories that tell us so much about the process of pain and healing for both patient and therapist.' - Kim Chernin, author of The Hungry Self. Widely acclaimed psychotherapist and author Dr Lillian B. Rubin offers us a masterful insight into the world of therapy in her compelling new book, The Man with the Beautiful Voice. She describes her most fascinating and challenging cases from 'the other side of the couch', as she takes the reader on a riveting and absorbing journey into the human psyche. Through seven unique stories, she reveals her personal struggle to leave behind traditional psychoanalytic training and adopt unorthodox methods, when the nature of her clients means that the rules have to be bent or broken.
