Description
In the fourth installment of her On the Couch series, famed female biographer Dr. Alma Bond looks inside the head and life of presidential frontrunner and informs voters what she s found.
Hillary Clinton comes for psychiatric help in dealing with her husband’s latest affair. Dr. Darcy Dale encourages her to open up and to reveal her past —the good and the bad. Much information about the First Lady is revealed during these fictionalized sessions.
RESULT : An in-depth and detailed look at the life of Hillary in a way that’s far more interesting than a typical biography/autobiography because the author uses all her literary and psychoanalytic tools to make Hillary come to life and seem human. She’s much more than the nickname she was given during her early years ―"Sister Frigidaire."
She has many emotions and even cries, not only during sessions, but states she cried during other difficult points in her life.
She’s funny, a bit sarcastic, and very intelligent.
Bond provides interesting insights into what Hillary could have been thinking about this or that, and the state of her mind from a psychoanalyst’s point of view.
It’s easy to get to know Hillary and want to hear her story.

Advance Praise
"What an amazing book! Dr. Bond really gets into the mind of her subjects, and this one on Hillary Rodham Clinton is no exception. The reader can easily imagine Clinton sitting in a comfortable chair across from the imaginary Dr. Dale, spilling her heart and her secrets, a cup of tea beside her, and her smartphone carefully switched off for 50 minutes at a time. But that doesn't mean there's no meat here. Bond's portrayal of Clinton delves into her background, her relationship with Bill (with all of its ups and downs), her years as a lawyer and as the family breadwinner, and how she feels about motherhood and grandmotherhood. Bond's earlier books dealt with women who have already entered into history; Clinton is her first one dealing with a living person." --Ann Beardsley, Author, Historical Dictionary of NASA and the Space Program
"With her most recent tome, Hillary Rodham Clinton On The Couch, Dr. Alma H. Bond has once again used her skills as a psychoanalyst, combined them with extensive research, and put together a fascinating look at the life of her subject, this time the former first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton . . . She has skillfully assembled a vivid chronicle of a strong woman who has faced immense challenges throughout her life and was able to pull through no matter how painful the journey. Bond's take on the details of this captivating woman are compelling and convincing, even if you, like many, don't like Hillary and, as many will do, question her accomplishments if she decides to run for President." --Norm Goldman, Publisher, BookPleasures.com
"In the fourth installment of her 'On the Couch' series, famed female biographer Dr. Alma Bond looks inside the head and life of the presidential frontrunner and informs voters what she's found. This is the most original concept I've come across! And what an extraordinary read! I felt like a fly on the wall in Dr. Darcy Dale's office, as the author has a gift for depicting a situation as if it is actually occurring. Every chapter was an open doorway to a room full of intimate details about the former First Lady, which made the sessions more realistic. From birth to Benghazi, and beyond, this novel explores Clinton in a most enjoyable, and sometimes heartbreaking, manner. I'm not a colossal fan of politics, but Hillary Rodham Clinton has always intrigued me. I've read several articles in the past, but her story has more depth than I originally considered. The bibliography is quite extensive; therefore, this was getting several points of reference at once. When you consider what this woman has been through and how she persevered, it's hard not to admire her. Alma H. Bond, Ph.D. has delivered a powerful interpretation of an enigmatic figure! An extraordinary book and a great read. I think it's brilliant!" --Literary Melting Pot
