Esther Perel

The State of Affairs

In the introduction, Perel says the book draws on therapy sessions, teaching, lectures, informal conversations and reader correspondence. She explicitly notes the self-selection of her patients and the disguising of every person in the book. These are her own methodological disclosures, not an independent audit of the underlying accounts.
