on the Couch
Barbra Streisand has been a
show business staple for
decades, from Funny Girl and Hello, Dolly! to The Way We
Were and, more recently, the Fockers franchise. Whether
gracing a stage, screen, or album cover, Barbra's iconic
silhouette is a globally-familiar image. We know Barbra
the
star, but how well do we know Barbra the woman?
In
Dr. Alma H. Bond's latest installment of her On the Couch
series, Dr. Darcy Dale―a renowned New York City
psychiatrist
whose expertise has been sought by such larger-than-life
women as Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and
Hillary Clinton―is confronted by Barbra, dismayed
after 30
years of minimally successful therapy. Over the course of
a
year, Dr. Dale conducts an intimate psychoanalysis,
breaking
through ego, defense mechanisms, and repressions to go
deep
into the heart and mind of one of America's last
remaining
superstars.
