From Pablo Picasso's chaotic life, which illustrated Freud's concept of the unconscious, to the origins of Nelson Mandela's compassion, which exemplify Carl Jung's notion of individuation; from John Bowlby's attachment theory, as seen through the lives of Virginia Woolf and Franz Kafka, to Melanie Klein's views on the relationship between love and hate, as revealed through the experiences of Cary Grant, \u003ci\u003eOn the Couch \u003c\/i\u003ethrows new light on the motivations and desires of some of our most memorable personalities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther lives examined include Josephine Baker, Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Viktor Frankl, Ernest Hemingway, Burt Hellinger, Emma Jung, Angela Merkel, Marilyn Monroe, Vladimir Putin, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W.B.
