'This book takes us on an impeccable and profound tour of all aspects of the sport phenomenon, with a psychoanalytic perspective that deals with scientific aspects, but also considers their psychological and emotional implications. The author explains all this in simple and direct language in order to make it accessible to the general public. For this reason, Sports on the Couch is highly recommended to all those readers who want to delve into the soul of the sport world from an original and thrilling perspective.'- Horacio Pagani, author, journalist and sportscaster for Clarin, Radio Mitre, and TyC Sports
Bringing together concepts from psychoanalysis with an attentive eye and A. Rubinstein popular wisdom, Sports on the Couch explores the psychology of athletes and those around them. As a product of our culture, sport enables a break for our minds, since it allows us to disconnect from internal as well as external realities. We immerse ourselves in the world of play, managing to let out tensions and liberate a great deal of aggression in a socially acceptable way.
