Joan K. Peters who got her Ph.D in comparative literature from The University of Chicago joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. She's published a novel and two books about women and work and is a professor emeritus of literature and writing at California State University at Channel Islands. Her new book is Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joan K. Peters discuss the following:

UNTANGLING: With the drama of a novel, Untangling tells the story of a transformative psychoanalysis, the first in-depth account by a patient. In Peters’ tempestuous twenties, a classical analysis quieted her recurring nightmares through a discovery of her family’s secret past. Decades later, her second analyst, Kristi, guided her through the frightening depths of that past as it played out in the intense strife and love in their relationship. In another first, Kristi writes an afterword about the challenge of analyzing Peters. Unique in its reach, Untangling reveals the inner workings of psychoanalysis and of the psyche.
