Notes from the Couch: Notebook Book

Hardback Notebook That Will Draw Your Inner Therapist Out; Perfect Gift Any Time of the Year Jean-Jacques Sempé has delighted our literary senses with his classic and witty cartoons found on the covers of the New Yorker for decades. Sempé has delved into several themes that illustrate the awkward, hilarious, endearing and human moments of our day-to-day lives, but one of his favorites is that of psychoanalysis. For the first time you can take these beautiful and charming therapy inspired illustrations home in a beautifully woven hardback notebook, published by Phaidon Press. Notes from the Couch is a hardback notebook featuring cartoons and illustrations on the theme of psychoanalysis. Sempé's illustrations explore the complex and sometimes absurd relationships between therapists and their patients, captured with his signature insight, wit and lightness of touch. From a languid lay in the quintessential patient couch, to a quaint window where an old married couple discusses nature as an antidepressant, Sempe covers it all. This hilarious and delightful notebook contains lined and blank pages to write down thoughts, ideas and dreams and will inspire us all to write or at least set up an appointment with a local therapist. The classic Sempé images peppered throughout make this a unique collectors item, perfect for all the psychoanalyses in the family, budding writers and dreamers alike.Read More
