About this listen
The collection of 10 absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter. In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too-human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist. Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.
The audio version of the book includes an exclusive interview with Dr. Yalom.

Excellent, made me laugh and cry!
What an amazing find! Learned a great deal from these stories. Yalom is a new favourite. His writing is very clear and insightful and transfers nicely to audio format.

I don't say this lightly; this is astounding
Everything from the fantastic narration by C.M. Carlson to the wonderful tales of a psychotherapist by Dr. Yalom blew me away. I've been listening to this book non-stop. I think I can recommend it to anyone; it's as much a collection of wisdoms and cautionary tales as it is the recounting of intimate and often touching stories of real people's lives and how they were affected by therapy. I've been using Audible for over a year and I'm finishing this book as my 8th, and so far, it is most definitely my favorite. Please, do yourself a favor. Get this thing in your ears and have a pleasant day, thank you.

Beneficial both professionally and personally
A great and engaging story about counter-transference, meaning, and death. The author was so honest with his flaws and unflattering thoughts, sometimes to a point where I disliked him. By the end of the book though, I appreciated his vulnerability and openness and had grown a great respect for him.

Big yikes for fatphobic chapter
The chapter about a perimeter who struggled with binge eating is a hot mess. Paragraphs mocking her body and detailing the writer’s sexual preferences, encouragement for the patient to go on a prolonged liquid diet with rapid fat loss and his commentary on how she now had breast and a lap— and the happy ending is that he could get his arms all the way around her. Nightmare therapist.
