Awesome Couch side Album and Music Offers

In her long career as a psychotherapist, acclaimed author Lillian Rubin occasionally encountered patients who demanded a very special, even unorthodox, therapeutic approach. For the first time, Dr. Rubin tells the stories of her most fascinating, most challenging cases from the other side of the couch, focusing not just on the patient, but on her own inner process as she confronts the issues each case raises.

"Entertaining and revealing, The Man With the Beautiful Voice includes accounts of patients who taught Rubin something important about herself—among them her very first patient."
—Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

"This daring and engrossing book offers a unique gift to readers: a window into the mind and the heart of both sides of the therapeutic relationship—the patient's and the therapist's. 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

"The seven case histories are riveting, Rubin's skills as a therapeutic sleuth are masterful, but the power of this remarkable book lies in the author's willingness to expose her radical self-doubt and her loving, caring heart."
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin, author of Three Daughters, Getting Over Getting Older, and Deborah, Golda, and Me.
