The book 'Chaiselongue: Memoirs of a Psychological Therapist' by Wafaa Shalabi delves into the concepts of mental health. Through its pages, the author challenges the notion of the 'greatest psychological ailment' as she believes everyone experiences pain uniquely according to their own circumstances. This book offers readers the chance to visit the psychological clinic as an observer, not a patient, penetrating the world of psychological therapy with all its excitement, mystery, and secrets.

Readers will feel the patients' struggles closely, share their thoughts and feelings, and understand therapists' relationships with their patients and themselves. Comprised of twenty-three true stories with pseudonyms, the book offers a glimpse into a 'day in the life of a psychiatric patient' within a group therapy session. It unravels mysteries and reveals secrets under the umbrella of psychological therapy. Perhaps, dear reader, by the end of the book, you might discover that you are one of them.
