Yalom"Review"Unlike most psychotherapists, Yalom can tell a story and tell it so well that it is easy to forget that what one is reading is a distillation of weeks, months, even years of therapeutic work....It would be wrong to say that he demonstrates what goes on in the consulting room; he shows us instead what the meaning and practice of therapy mean to him. This is all that anyone writing about psychotherapy can do--and Yalom does it with enviable openness and style." ExcerptEven as I lift my head from the pillow and try to shake off the dream, the words clot in my throat: "How'd I do, Momma? Momma, how'd I do?" First lineDusk. Perhaps I am dying. Publisher's noteIn six enthralling stories drawn from his own clinical experience, Irvin D. Yalom once again proves himself an intrepid explorer of the human psyche as he guides his patients--and himself--toward transformation. With eloquent detail and sharp-eyed observation Yalom introduces us to a memorable cast of characters. Drifting through his dreams and trampling through his thoughts are Paula, Yalom's "courtesan of death"; Myrna, whose eavesdropping gives new meaning to patient confidentiality; Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows, even as he strives to ease hers; and Momma--ill-tempered, overpowering, and suffocating her son with both love and disapproval. A richly rewarding, almost illicit glimpse into the therapist's heart and mind, Momma and the Meaning of Life illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship. AnnotationIn this collection of six stories, a psychotherapist explores the human psyche and the intimate bond between therapist and client. He reveals the ways in which he has encouraged himself and his patients to confront negative emotions of guilt, fear, sadness, and anger to achieve remarkable transformations.
