Former Chief Executive of Tavistock Relationships, and a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a career spanning 30 years, Susanna Abse knows a thing or two about love and relationships. Her new book Tell Me the Truth About Love is a collection of 13 stories from the therapist's couch, delivering insights into the issues that plague couples and individuals relating to their love lives, some modern and some as old as time.

Susanna Abse explores how our childhood shapes our adult relationships, why people engage in affairs and betrayals and whether it's possible to recover, and how children - whether or not to have them, and what happens when they arrive - cause upheaval in relationships.
