Case Study

Burnet’s Case Study is a witty, psychologically rich novel presented as a series of notebooks written by a woman investigating a controversial 1960s psychotherapist. The book plays with authenticity, narrative reliability, and the performance of identity. Burnet’s meticulous construction allows readers to question the truth at every turn while enjoying his sly humour. The novel is both a parody of psychoanalytic culture and a sharp exploration of fractured selfhood. It is clever, entertaining, and layered with emotional subtlety.
