Today’s Debut

wcag head

Noam Shpancer's stunning debut, The Good Psychologist, opens as a psychologist
reluctantly takes on a new client—an exotic dancer whose severe anxiety
is keeping her from the stage. The psychologist, a solitary
professional who also teaches a lively night class, helps the client
confront her fears. As the shell of his detachment
begins to crack, he suddenly finds himself too deeply involved, the
boundary lines between professional and personal, between help and
harm, blurring dangerously.

"An intense and engrossing read." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Shpancer's authentic debut incorporates therapy-heavy diversions throughout, weaving together clinical and personal experiences." --Booklist
