[TOMT][BOOK] A book written by a psychoanalyst. The book contains stories from his cases. I remember that the cover is green. I read it 20 years ago, but it may be older.

I don't recall this story specifically, but sounds like something that could have been in "the man who mistook his wife for a hat" by Oliver sacks. He has some other books too I think.

The Fifty-Minute Hour by Robert Lindner?

Gromchik and Other Tales From a Psychiatrist's Casebook, by A.H. Chapman?

I read this years ago and don't know if it's what you're looking for, but it was really fascinating stuff.

I will just post what I already did. I can't remember anything more.

The author is male. I only remember one of the stories: A woman who eats absolutely too much on occasion and can't control it, so she gains a lot of weight. Then she has periods when she doesn't eat at all. The case is solved when she says "Mike babies" instead of "make babies". Mike was her dad's name.
