The Man With The Beautiful Voice: And More Stories from the Other Side of the Couch7 reviews
Lillian B. Rubin
Beacon Press, 2003
Seeing the Whole Picture
This book gives you an inside view of the therapist-patient relationship from the therapist point of view. It's enlightening to read how the relationship develops and how that impacts the patient's life. You can get a little bit of a feel for how therapy works and what happens. The book does a nice job of juxtaposing the 'rules' of how things are to be done and 'intuition' about how things ...

Amos: The Story of an Old Dog and His Couch8 reviews
Susan Seligson, Howie Schneider
Joy St Books, 1992
Amos will never get old at our house!
We love "Amos: The Story of an Old Dog and His Couch." Our older children grew up with it and our little guys beg us to read it to them at night. We second the comment of one review writer---Amos and his couch blows Clifford out of his Doghouse! Please bring Amos back for more families to enjoy. Our book is "dog-eared" and old, but it is a treasure that we will share with our (years to ...

Tales from a Traveling Couch: A Psychoatherapist Revisits His Most Memorable Patients9 reviews
Robert U. Akeret
W. W. Norton & Company, 1995
Life after therapy
Although this book reads like a novel, it contains the real-life stories of the journeys of five of Robert's most memorable patients. Starting with the work that began within the walls of the therapy room, each chapter takes a peek into how the lives of the individual patients have progressed in the space and time beyond the sessions. On so many levels, this book illustrates how the real effects ...

Great book!
This is a beautifully illustrated book with a cute story about Winter waiting for Father Time to finish his work. My whole family thoroughly enjoys all four of Plourde's season books - they are all beautiful and fun! A good addition to the family library.

Mark S Benn
iUniverse, Inc., 2008
One of the Best books ever
This book is amazing. Simply amazing. The quality of storytelling is phenomenal and said in simple and plain language so everyone can understand. Reading every page is like having a conversation with the author. Unlike many from this genre, it is not hokey and it is so easily applied to everyday life. It speaks on many topics in life from relationships, to death, to substance abuse, and ...

Cinderella on the Couch5 reviews
Chris Linnares
Kototama Publishing, 2007
Refreshing!
Linnares has written this fictional story cleverly. It is self-help without any stated "you shoulds" or deep psycho-analysis. Rather, it is an indirect reflection of how we (especially as women)talk to ourselves and make choices to empower (or not empower) ourselves toward our own happiness.
In a world where it is common for individuals to blame others for their unhappiness and choices or ...

The song of Hiawatha (The Kings treasuries of literature ; Sir A. T. Quiller Couch, general editor)4 reviews
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
J.M. Dent, 1942
This is a great campfire book that really makes you think.
"The Song of Hiawatha" is the best book I have ever been
exposed to. Every time I hear the wonderful rhyme of Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, I begin to think of what this land was
like before the Europeans conquered it. It is a wonderful
tale of peace between nations and a great book to read to
children.

Together But Alone: When God Means Something Different to Your Spouse5 reviews
Donna Erickson Couch
Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 2008
Excellent Book
This is an amazing book and is helpful and inspiring to those with a spouse of a different faith or those of us who have family and friends experiencing this type of situation. The information was thought provoking and educational. I felt as though I was reading a very well written, intellectual personal journal rather than a psychology textbook or standard "how to" book. The author's honest and ...

The Legacy Solution4 reviews
Ron Couch
PublishAmerica, 2007
An interesting, sometimes humorous, story of a life in an auto. plant by an insider.
The Legacy Solution could have only been written by someone with a wry sense of humor, who is a keen observer of people. This is a realistic story of life in an automobile plant filled with the events, people and reactions that are there. It is a well researched, entertaining book written from an insiders viewpoint.
Having grown up in the Detroit and suburban areas referred to in the book, I ...

On the Couch, Vol. 24 reviews
Bruno Gmunder, 2004
More Of A Good Thing
Tom Bianchi continues where he left off in ON THE COUCH, VOLUME 1, so much so that if you showed me a page from either book, I would be hard put to tell you from which volume the photograph came. The men remain god-like, and the photography again is perfect. Perhaps the artist will combine the two volumes into one lavish coffee table book sometime soon. Oh, we have some variety here-- a little ...

Watercolor, You Can Do It!5 reviews
Tony Couch
North Light Books, 1987
One of the best watercolor instruction books on the market
After reading at least 30 watercolor instructions books, this one goes to the top of my list. Couch covers everything from the basics (from equipment to how you actually get paint on to the paper) to the essential guidelines of design and composition. These (sometimes boring) subjects are covered in an easily-digestible, easily-usable manner, making it exciting to get to your next painting and ...

Excellent commentary
I purchased this book because I am teaching a class on Romans.
It's a great resource for anyone wanting to use a great, direct commentary that is relevant for today's readers.
Woodrow Kroll is best known for his involvement with Back to the Bible. He does an excellent job of making the book of Romans approachable to the reader.
There is not an exhaustive covering of every position on the ...

Listening to Catnip: Stories from a Catanalyst's Couch4 reviews
Sigmund F. Winnicat, Camille Smith
Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1996
This book is a break through for cat lovers!
I think it is adorable how Dr. Winnicat tells of his fellow felines and the problems that occur through the course of a cat's life. It leaves the mind boggled after reading because so many possibilities are seen in cats. It's a must read for cat lovers and a window to the magination.

This is classic Amtower: Straight talk, real meat, honest and important. His principles of life--especially business life--are what is needed when forming a career.
