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. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - An eye opener to the world of psychotherapy An eye opener to the world of psychotherapy Love's Executioner is very insightful and a great educational book. I have learnt immensely about the profession called psychotherapy along with extreme behaviours and some of their underlying reasons. Yalom has a great ability to teach and write and those combined with being a psychotherapist synergise to a writing style that is intriguing, moving, powerful and not to forget very funny at times. This is an eye opener for those of us unfamiliar ...

Even the therapist sometimes doesn't know what's going on as he takes the journey into the windmills of the mind...very well written and very informative and sometimes witty. The book also provides insight into humanity as a whole. Rating: - You'll Learn Something About Yourself! Riveting memoirs of ten of Dr. Yalom's most intriguing patients in psychotherapy! For the budding therapist in me, the stories were so infused with memorable insights into a therapist's mind. Dr. Yalom shares his success, failure, insights, and bewilderment with transparent honesty. I felt like I was in his head during these actual therapy sessions, listening in on the chatter of one of the great psychological minds of our time. I would highly recommend the book to two other groups of people. ... Read More Rating: - A must-read for anyone interested in the modern mind 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. Rating: - Excellent read. I am a true fan of Yalom, so I can't help but love his books. However, this is an excellent semi-fictional (to protect confidentiality) book of case studies. Yalom's writing style makes one feel he is talking to you directly. His personal thoughts about the cases are interesting, insightful and often tinted with humor. An enjoyable, yet teachable read. see more Browse for similar items by category: Clinical - Medicine - Medicine & Health Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Psychiatry Medicine & Health Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Psychology - Social Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Psychotherapy Psychology - Social Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Social Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS
