Book Reviews of Love's Executioner: & Other Tales of Psychotherapy (Perennial Classics)
Book Review: A must-read for anyone interested in the modern mind
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly a brilliant book--a classic, if one can use that term. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the human mind, psychology, medicine, and/or literature. Beautifully and compellingly written, this is also a tremendously moving book. It is right up there with the great classic case studies by Freud, the works of Sacks, and of A.R. Luria. It is that good.
Summary of Love's Executioner: & Other Tales of Psychotherapy (Perennial Classics)
The 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.
