My favourite couch doctor story:

A conversation in Vienna c. 1910:

Patient: "Professor Freud, I am terribly, terribly depressed, you really must help me."

Freud: "Tell you what,... the Russian circus is in town. Here's a ticket. Go and see Coco the Clown, that will surely cheer you up.

Patient: "I am Coco the Clown."
