Publisher's Summary
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.

Masterful insight into the therapeutic process
This (along with all of Invin's books) is a must for budding therapists and experienced therapists alike. But even more so, it provides amazing insight for those not in the field. The stories will be universal to the life experience of many and provide perspective much like group therapy would. Many times did I think 'I must show so and so that chapter' or 'Boy do I see myself in that story.'
Finally, Invin's storytelling is full of life and moves at a lovely pace, and the audio narration feels very much in tune with this.
