This is described as ‘an open letter to a new generation of therapists and their patients‘. A series of brief clinical vignettes and observations from years of experience as a psychotherapist. Irvin D. Yalom has written a number of international best sellers, but this is my favourite. Useful for anyone wanting to understand more about the process and value of psychotherapy.
