Before you is a collection of four real stories from psychotherapeutic practice. Alexey Vilkov is a practicing psychologist, and he manages to create a real gallery of portraits of psychotherapists and their clients with such ordinary and therefore understandable human problems. Each story is a new client case and a non-standard therapist’s solution. You will encounter all sorts of excesses: from severe mental disorders to unexpectedly developing romantic relationships between a psychologist and a client... Editor's comment: One of the main advantages of these stories, in addition to their exceptional fascination, is the truthfulness of life. This is what makes reading very therapeutic.
