Irvin D. Yalom

Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, Fifth Edition

Irvin D. Yalom, Molyn Leszcz

Basic Books, 2005

Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy
Yalom did a superb job in taking his readers through the process- the world of group psychotherapy. I especially appreciate reading about the cases to see how the theories actually came together. I have learned so much from a pro!

Lying on the Couch: A Novel

Irvin D. Yalom

Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death

Irvin D. Yalom

Jossey-Bass, 2008

An important book that would benefit almost any reader
Since all of us face death, it is natural to view this passage with a near-irrational panic. Dr. Yalom is a most readable writer. If there is one message that one can take away from "Staring at the Sun," it is that living in the moment, savoring it, is an infinitely ...

Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy

Irvin D. Yalom

Harper Perennial, 2000

Yalom speaks to and for all of us
This book is simply wonderful. The first chapter about Momma is worth the price of the book all by itself. Whether one is a therapist, is in therapy, is curious about therapy, or just wants to understand life, read this book, in fact, read all of Yalom's books, (well, ...

Inpatient Group Psychotherapy

Every Day Gets A Little Closer: A Twice-told Therapy

Irvin D. Yalom, Ginny Elkin

Basic Books, 1991

Life...Or Something Like It
This is one of those books I couldn't wait to run back to. In those free moments between dishes and the bank, and the relaxed air of bedtime, I reveled in anticipation, because this book is like a talk with my best friend. Maybe better. Candor, humor and delightful ...

Existential Psychotherapy

Irvin D. Yalom

Basic Books, 1980

A psychotherapy practice could be built on this book!
I have recommended this book to one client who found it extremely useful as a means of managing his fear of death. Yalom's idea that the fears associated with the existential concerns of isolation, freedom, death, and sense of purpose form part of our ...

When Nietzsche Wept

Irvin D. Yalom, 2005

Very good book in understanding obsession
Nietzsche and Beuer meet... and their contact will bring both of them closer to getting to know themselves better. They are both ruled by obsession, and at first they are unable to see it. As time goes by, one becomes the other's mirror, and the reader's as well, ...

Love's Executioner: & Other Tales of Psychotherapy (Perennial Classics)

Irvin D. Yalom

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2000

Magnificent!
I am really unclear as to how this book might have received anything less than 5 stars... It was recommended to me by my psychotherapy supervisor, at my request to read something a little more digestible than our textbook on said subject. I began reading and was ...

In a survey reported in a recent issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry, it was cited as one of the ten most influential psychiatry publications of the decade, and it was one of the very ...

An excellent overview of Yalom's prior work
