## Description

Basic Books Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy : Yalom, Irvin: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: The brilliant, and very human Dr. Yalom never disappoints, from the lovely dedication of this book to his wife, to the FUNNY chapter about his shockingly domineering, yet indispensable bookkeeper. I thought it was only me that ran into this type of person, and caved! Now over eighty years old, Irvin Yalom keeps us pointed at the fact of our unavoidable death, so that we will live NOW and make it mean something. Moreover, he has ushered me into the very real facts of old age, as they are going to appear. Years ago I read his phrase "senile skin platelets", and his point that playing tennis is not going to delay or escape them. That stuck with me. In this book, my hero discloses (five stars for self disclosure Irv!) that facial recognition grows somewhat more difficult for him. (Ulp). Reality writ large. - Nanaimo, B. C.
Review: One day I was strolling through a bookstore and saw a novel by Irvin Yalom titled "Lying on the Couch". The fact that it was written by a psychiatrist with a private practice who was also a professor at Stanford University intrigued me. I wasn't expecting much from the book other than a light read but to my (delightful) surprise, the story had great depth and Dr. Yalom proved to be an excellent writer and story teller. So much so, that I have since read every book he's written. You don't have to be a student of therapy or a therapist to appreciate this book or any other by Dr. Yalom. His writing speaks to everyone and leaves everyone with a gift of personal insight. There are many good writers but only a few great ones. Dr. Yalom is among the greats. He is wise, humble, and deeply honest about his own struggles with the big questions in life. If you haven't met Dr. Yalom, I urge you to read any one of his books. You won't be disappointed!

I think Dr Yalom should be required reading for all therapy and counselling students. He is inspiring and passionate, with an excellent style of writing which thoroughly engages the reader. The 'novelistic' presentation of therapy really helps you engage with the individual clients who he is discussing. If I had *anything* negative to say, I might just about venture that I didn't enjoy this *quite* as much as "Love's Executioner" - however, since that is definitely in my top 3 non-fiction books of all time, it's not really a criticism and I would heartily recommend this to anyone who has even a passing interest in psychotherapy.
