Sigmund Freud's famous couch with the chair beside it - almost everyone knows this ensemble. It is located in the Freud Museum in London, but it also symbolizes psychoanalytic work in general. How have his successors arranged their practices in the psychoanalyst's chair? What has become of the couch setting in the current daily life of psychoanalysts? What do practices look like today? Until now, an aura of mystery surrounded this question. Claudia Guderian has photographed couch settings in psychoanalysts' practices in numerous countries both in and outside of Europe for the first time and has spoken with the analysts about their design concepts. Models for the arrangement of the rooms are, on one hand, the setting of Sigmund Freud, and on the other hand, the defining practice image of the training analyst. Many analysts also decorate their spaces with mementos of their own ancestors.
