Summary: This collection of ten absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter. In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too-human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist. Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.
Love's Executioner -- "If Rape Were Legal..." -- Fat Lady -- "The Wrong One Died" -- "I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me" -- "Do Not Go Gentle" -- Two Smiles -- Three Unopened Letters -- Therapeutic Monogamy -- In Search of the Dreamer.
