Sports on the Couch
Bringing together concepts from psychoanalysis with an attentive eye and the author's popular wisdom, Sports on the Couch explores the psychology of athletes and those around them. As a product of our culture, sport enables a break for our minds, since it allows us to disconnect from internal as well as external realities. We immerse ourselves in the world of play, managing to let out tensions and liberate a great deal of aggression in a socially acceptable way.

O interpretare a sportului și a vieții de sportiv de performanța din perspectiva psihanalitica. Mi-as fi dorit mai multe studii de caz și exemple din mai multe sporturi. Au predominat fotbalul și tenisul. Mi-au plăcut sa aflu complexitatea psihologică din spatele sportivilor si mai ales cum mindsetul contează 50% in rezultatul final.
