Lying on the couch yalom6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() And finally, there is Ernest Lash, who, saved ultimately by his sincere desire to help people, risks a totally open, authentic relationship with a patient and assumes that to be healing in and of itself. Or Marshal, haunted by his own obsessive-compulsive behaviors, uncertain of the role of money in his relationship with patients. ![]() Yalom now turns the tables on the other half of the therapeutic relationship - the therapist from an age of secrets, who "interprets" the boundaries of sexual propriety. The contemporary therapist has much to worry about: patients who seduce their therapists with money, sex, fanatical devotion - and all the other deadly sins in a game of musical chairs around the seat of power in the therapeutic session." "In a daring spin on his lifelong devotion to chart the inner lives of patients in his intimate case histories, Dr. Managed health care threatens the very future of practice. "It is the "twilight of the shrinks." Disciples of Freud and Jung sandbag against the rising tide of new age therapies and wring their hands over the unreliable narratives of patients who "lie" on the couch. ![]()

![]() ![]() Tyler presents us with Micah Mortimer, a computer technician who lives on his own but has a ‘woman friend’ - he refused to call anyone in his late thirties a “girlfriend” and has difficulty connecting with others on a personal level. But if you’ve read it, that may seem like a complicated way to start talking about a simple story. I offer this observation as a preface to my review of Anne Tyler’s Redhead by the Side of the Road, because I can’t help thinking that talking about authorial intrusion is a useful way to approach this novel. John Fowles went further in his 1969 novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman when he first appears in a railway car as the author, watching his creation Charles Smithson, and later when he entirely undermines the conventions of 19 th Century Realism by offering his reader two different endings from which to choose. As narrator, Jane Eyre draws attention to the construction of her story as a novel: dear reader I married him. ![]() In novels it might happen when the author intrudes upon the narrative to direct the reader or comment upon what is happening. In theatre it would be called ‘breaking the fourth’ wall, that moment when the artifice of stagecraft is foregrounded at the expense of verisimilitude. ![]() Postmodern fiction and 19 th Century novels have something in common. ![]()
