NTV Publications was a publishing house I followed from the very beginning. In order not to fall short of their name, they mostly focused on books that were interesting, bestselling in America/Europe and that made people spend time. Its target audience was not literature lovers anyway, just people who had money in their pockets and wanted to buy things that looked nice and would please. They were also doing good marketing. Naturally, I bought quite a few of his books :) (Currently, Domingo Publications seem to have undertaken this mission, so I follow them too.) A Psychiatrist's Secret Notebook is one of the best-selling books of NTV Publications at the time. Its English name is The Other Side of the Sofa. Dr. The book, written together by Gary Small and his wife, describes in a beautiful language, without boring, the cases that the doctor experienced throughout his career and that were considered interesting. It's a fluent book and ends quickly. Of course, when it comes to psychiatry, he feels obliged to compare himself to Irvin Yalom in his human form. If you have read Divan, When Nietzsche Cries or at least Daily Lives; Unfortunately, this book does not go beyond "ordinary stories told by any doctor". You recently watched "In treatment" When you remember that you have encountered much deeper cases in the TV series, you just say it's nice and pass it by. As I said, it is not a bad or boring book. As another friend said, reading doesn't make you lose anything. But it doesn't gain anything. If the subject interests you, you can read it.
