A recent poll of American psychotherapists voted him to be one of the three most important living therapists, but the worldwide success of his books suggests that his prominence is international.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRather than positioning himself as a representative of one of the hundreds of \"schools\" or approaches to psychotherapy. Yalom offers a message that goes to the heart of psychotherapy. Taking up the central existential concerns of human life, Yalom\u003cspan\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003es work engages the problems of finding meaning in life and confronting death, concerns that had lain beyond the scope of psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWriting in a literary style that reviewers have compared to Freud, Yalom details what actually happens in the intimate human encounter that is psychotherapy. Yalom does not shrink from exposing his own thoughts and feelings about what occurs; he, too is a vulnerable and searching human being. He makes his thinking about his patients, and his efforts to treat them, transparent, exposing his doubts, reservations and struggles as well as his insights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe has written two textbook, two volumes of case history stories, three novels about therapy, a guide for therapists and one book of counsel for the masses confronting death. Across all of this work, he explores the limitless and complex possibilities of the healing inherent in genuine human connection and authentic awareness of the dilemmas of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIrvin D.

Yalom Institute of Psychotherapy. On her approach to therapy: “I work from a psychodynamic and an existential psychotherapy perspective. I think of psychotherapy as a project that two people undertake together to try to better understand the problems of living in order to make changes that serve growth and personal fulfillment. I work primarily with conflicts concerning relationships, work and identity, and these often underlie symptoms of anxiety and depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunning Time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03:34:38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781959162872\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LINDIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47324167569559,"sku":"9781959162872","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9540\/8023\/files\/9781959162872__85941.png?v=1773525187"},{"product_id":"a-tiny-white-light","title":"A Tiny White Light","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle Synopsis\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom an author with a psychology background, a candid memoir about the interior of her own psychotic episode.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter the culture shock of moving from a small Wisconsin town to the tumult of Los Angeles in 1967, Linda’s family disintegrates: her parents decide to divorce, and she and her younger brother, Brian, suddenly must fend for themselves. \u003c\/span\u003eWhile she finds a foothold in academic pursuits, Brian spirals downward into schizophrenia and, finally, commits an irrevocable act.
