Get the look: Shrink’s office
For all the cerebral snoopers out there. I’ve stumbled into a feature about the offices of Psychoanalysts. It’s a nice piece of escapism for anyone who’s a) been in therapy or b) is into Woody Allen movies. Stacks of books, disturbing art, piles of paper, heavy on the textiles, plenty of chaise – there are cliches here. But each room has its unique style or take on this sort of sitting space, which is what photographer Mark Gerald – a psychoanalyst himself – wanted to capture.
Effectively this is just another man’s obsession with what your office is like. I wonder if he knows what that says about a person?
Imagining for a moment that we live in a world in which it’d be sensible to pick your therapist based on their decor, who’d you go for?
I’d choose number 2 but with the less strict looking number 4 in it. Find the full set here.
No 1. almost enough to tempt one into therapy
The top one, definitely! I love rounded bookcases, and he’s ok, though perhaps a little perjink looking. The next two are far too glum – I’d feel worse visiting them I’m sure. The last lady has interesting décor and she also looks fun, though I do appreciate fun isn’t normally the point of the exercise. (ps: just checked out perjink and found it’s a Scots word for prim or finicky)
