Wearing My Tutu to Analysis and Other Stories: Learning Psychodynamic Concepts from Life

The story and analysis are really quite wonderful. I loved reading both―and especially enjoyed the way the story unfolds through analysis, which is quite sophisticated and, on a personal level, touching and nicely written. — Brian Rasmussen, University of British Columbia Okanagan

This is going to be a book that people will love―both students of analysis and the general public. The vignettes are charming and the explanations, which deal with complex concepts, are masterfully simple and clear. The writing is entertaining and a pleasure―a fun read and rare, I’m sure, for books on analysis. — Sara Mansfield Taber, author of Bread of Three Rivers: The Story of a French Loaf

The examples here―each of them―are little gems, beautifully weaving together theory with life and with much that is illustrated through this. — Patrick J. Casement, author of Learning from Life: Becoming a Psychoanalyst and Learning from Our Mistakes: Beyond Dogma in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

Wearing My Tutu to Analysis and Other Stories is both a delightful title and a very useful and well-written book. — Barbara Almond ― Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association

well-written, informative, and chock-full of wisdom at the same time that it is absolutely delightful and charming. — Martin A. Silverman ― Psychoanalytic Quarterly

A lively pick for any psychology collection at either the general or college level. ― Midwest Book Review
