In 2010 the academic publisher, Palgrave Macmillan, published her book, Couch Fiction: a graphic tale of psychotherapy. It is a graphic novel that tells a tale between a psychotherapist and her client, from both their perspectives. Underneath the graphic novel boxes, Perry takes the position of commentator and provides footnotes on what might be going on between them and what theories the therapist is drawing on or should be drawing on. There is an afterword by Professor Andrew Samuels.
