10 Lives in the Light of Psychoanalysis

Ten Lives in the Light of Psychoanalysis is the first book by Gabriel Rolón—the work that established him in readers’ hearts as one of the leading authors in his field, thanks to his uniquely human ability to make psychoanalysis accessible and understandable to everyone.

Ten real “life stories” unfold masterfully, exploring themes such as love, loneliness, jealousy, infidelity, grief, sexuality, and guilt. Stories of ordinary people with whom we inevitably identify—each one revealing something deeply therapeutic about ourselves.

“This is not a book written exclusively for psychologists, but for anyone interested in pain and the possibility of overcoming it. I have seen its protagonists fall apart, laugh, cry, feel disappointed, and get angry in my office. Sessions in which analyst and patient reach an agreement to walk together along the path that leads to truth—the only way to unlock pain…” writes Dr. Gabriel Rolón.
