Praise for On and Off the Couch:

And Off The Couch is a beautifully written love letter to psychoanalysis and its power to transform a life. Kolsky gives us an insider’s look into her own journey of becoming free and independent as a woman, and as a psychoanalyst. This compelling memoir reveals the author’s devotion to her patients, the lucky beneficiaries of her own self exploration. We are fortunate that she found her voice, one worth listening to.
—Lisa Sokoloff, LCSW, PsyA, Supervisor and Instructor IPS

When neither residence on an idyllic Greek island nor all-consuming romance can cure the restlessness of an empty self, Kolsky finds her way to the journey within, and she takes us along for the ride. This undaunted accounting from analysand to analyst is a testament to the enduring power of psychoanalysis to heal, and to the essential humanity we bring to the endeavor, whether on or off the couch.
—Ashley Warner, LCSW, BCD-P, author, The Year After: A Memoir Continue reading On and Off the Couch: Memoir of a Psychoanalyst by Beverly Kolsky

Who could we hope would understand this better than a group of psychoanalysts ? 

APsaA has a number of analysts of Pakistani origin ( including me) who have devoted decades to helping, pro bono, the cause of psychoanalysis locally, nationally, and internationally; as well as helping fulfill, again pro bono , the mission of APsaA and analytic institutes locally.
