The Gift Of Therapy Summary

The Gift Of Therapy: An open letter to a new generation of therapists and their patients by Irvin Yalom

Acclaimed author and renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom distills thirty-five years of psychotherapy wisdom into one brilliant volume.

The culmination of master psychiatrist Dr. Irvin D. Yalom's more than thirty-five years in clinical practice, The Gift of Therapy is a remarkable and essential guidebook that illustrates through real case studies how patients and therapists alike can get the most out of therapy.

The bestselling author of Love's Executioner shares his uniquely fresh approach and the valuable insights he has gained-presented as eighty-five personal and provocative 'tips for beginner therapists', including:

*Let the patient matter to you
*Acknowledge your errors
*Create a new therapy for each patient
*Do home visits
*(Almost) never make decisions for the patient
*Freud was not always wrong

A book aimed at enriching the therapeutic process for a new generation of patients and counsellors, Yalom's Gift of Therapy is an entertaining, informative, and insightful read for anyone with an interest in the subject.

The Gift Of Therapy Reviews

I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those open to learning with the heart as well as the head -- E. Thomas Dowd * Counselling Psychology Quarterly *
In 85 short chapters, [Yalom] presents little pearls of ideas shaped from thirty-five years in practice ... Yalom's latest is essential * Library Journal *
[Yalom's] wise ideas are perfectly accessible * Publishers Weekly *
Very much forward looking - a call to arms for the couch ... I'm struck by the man's unerring sense of humanity ... [Yalom is] a wizard, for whom no curtain is left drawn * Metro Times *
An absorbing guide * Boston Globe *
Certainly helpful to therapists and patients, may also help any thoughtful person seeking to improve relationships with others and self-understanding * Booklist *
