'Coach and Couch: The Psychology of Making Better Leaders is a powerful reminder that Leadership, very much like Art, blends irrationality and rationality. This book explores the clinical perspective and applies it to the business context. I have found that this approach, which focuses on self-reflection and the observation of others, is particularly helpful in confronting the challenges of leadership. ' - Edward Dolman , CEO, Christie's

This is as good as it gets.' - Sudhir Kakar, Visiting Professor, INSEAD, psychoanalyst, anthropologist and novelist
