The Yalom Reader: Selections From The Work Of A Master Therapist And Storyteller Books
Product Description
In this anthology of Irvin Yalom’s most influential work to date, readers will experience the diversity of his writings, with pieces that range from the highly concrete and clinical to the abstract and theoretical and, of course, even to the literary. Yalom opens the reader with frank and enlightening autobiographical introduction and then proceeds through four distinctive parts,”Group Psychotherapy,” “Existential Psychotherapy,” “Merging Group and Existensial Psychotherapy,” and “On Writing.” The structure of the book follows in many ways the trajectory of Yalom’s career, and the selections include excerpts from his text books, an award-winning monograph on existential group therapy; previously unpublished case studies, and excerpts from Likes Executioner; When Nietzsche Wept, and Lying on the Couch. In addition, Dr. Yalom has written a new introductory essay for each of his trade books, which focus on the evolution of his career and thought since the books were originally published.
In both his nonfiction and fiction, Yalom uses the lens of psychotherapy to explore human nature, and shows us that the line between the right and the imagined is not everlastingly easily distinguished. This fascinating volume will fascinate to both a professional and general audience.

If you are in the field of psychology or social work this book is a must read. In the first chapter of the book, Yalom talksabout the book, The Theory and Pratice of Group Psychotherapy.Beginning with the therapeutic facotrs of how group therapy helps clients. My favorite tale is “lying on the couch” because the tale is based on an a psychiatrist who goes hostile to the ethical standards in the field to help a client who is dealing with transference. There is a lot to be learned from the tale.
I hope this review was helpful.

It really doesn’t matter which Yalom book you read, they will never disappoint. He is a right Master in so many ways. He inspired me to write a blog on Apt Who You Are [...] in case you’re interested.

I have read several of Yalom’s books, and each of them have been wonderfully written and engaging. This book was a fantastic overview of his previous books, and it makes me want to buy all of his books. He is a fantastic novelist, understandable, and inspiring. A must read for anyone in the counseling field!

An Brilliant synthesis of Yalom’s former publications. Yalom is very simple to read, yet informative. He does not write in the troublesome professional jargon of other psychiatrists. Anyone going into the field of psychotherapy, counseling, social work, etc. should read this book. A fantastic book is one that is informative yet enjoyable at the same time. This work leaves a desire to read all of Yalom’s books. I just bought Existential Psychotherapy and I have already read When Nietzsche Wept and Like’s Executioner. From a student in Philosophy looking to go into clinical psychology.
