The Therapist, from bestselling author Hugh Mackay, is a powerful and poignant story of deception, ambiguity, lust and love – and the challenge of living with the consequences of our actions. Martha Elliott, maverick psychotherapist, harbours some dark secrets from her own past, and is more interested in achieving good outcomes for her clients than playing by the rules.

Rob, Martha's colleague, is trapped in a tempestuous relationship with the beautiful and feisty Constancia, and Martha wonders if he will ever find the resolve to free himself.

Our lives are filled with relationships and daily interactions. They form a vital part of our wellbeing. But very few of us understand how we connect best, who we are really compatible with, and why.

From the workplace, to friendships old and new, to family, to dating and long-term romantic partners, Dr Ali Walker's ground-breaking book Click or Clash? explains and transforms all of the connections in your life — the clicks and the clashes.
