'Funtastic: How therapy works with all the fun of a cartoon.'
- Oliver James, clinical psychologist, author and broadcaster

'Philippa Perry has succeeded brilliantly in demystifying the complexities of the psychotherapeutic encounter by demonstrating not only something about the private conversations which transpire in the consulting room, but also by revealing the hidden thought processes in the mind of both the client and the psychotherapist. Her beautifully illustrated book Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy will be essential reading for anybody contemplating therapy, and would make an ideal gift for friends and colleagues.'
