IRVIN D. YALOM

Love's Executioner and other Tales of Psychotherapy, Irvin D. Yalom 1989, Penguin Group

Irvin D. Yalom is a Professor of Psychiatry at the Stanford University and has written several books about pschotherapy and his personal experiences as a psychiatrist. This book is one of the latter - his first excursion into relating some patient cases (heavily disguised). It is an enlightening book as he eloquently describes not only how his patients come to grips with their problems, but also his impressions and reactions throughout the sessions. Its a very real book - sometimes there are no ultimate solutions, but the reward comes seeing the people transform as they regain control of one aspect of their life. Love's Executioner contains several short stories, each one focusing on a different patient and their very different problems and ways of tackling them.
