Love's Executioner offers us the humane & extraordinary insight of renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom into the lives of ten of his patients
- & through them into the minds of us all. Why was Saul tormented by three unopened letters from Stockholm? What made Thelma spend her whole life raking over a long-past love affair? How did Carlos' macho fantasies help him deal with terminal cancer? In this engrossing book Irvin Yalom gives detailed & deeply affecting accounts of his work with these & seven other patients. Deep down all of them were suffering from the basic human anxieties
- isolation fear of death or freedom a sense of the meaninglessness of life
- that none of us can escape completely. & yet as the case histories make touchingly clear it is only by facing such anxieties head on that we can hope to come to terms with them & develop. Throughout Dr Jalom remains refreshingly frank about his own errors & prejudices; his book provides a rare glimpse into the consulting room of a master therapist. Reviews: Dr Yalom demonstrates once again that in the right hands the stuff of therapy has the interest of the richest & most inventive fiction". (Eva Hoffman New York Times). " These remarkably moving & instructive tales of the psychiatric encounter bring the reader into novel territories of the mind
- & the landscape is truly unforgettable". (Maggie Scarf). " Love's Executioner is one of those rare books that suggests both the mystery & the poetry of the psychotherapeutic process. The best therapists are at least partly poets. With this riveting & beautifully written book Irvin Yalom has joined their ranks". (Erica Jong). " Inspired.. . He writes with the narrative wit of O. Henry & the earthy humor of Isaac Bashevis Singer". (San Francisco Chronicle). " Dr Yalom offers a valuable insight into the delicate process of therapy". (Sunday Telegraph). " Irvin Yalom writes like an angel about the devils that besiege us". (Rollo May). " These stories are wonderful. They make us realize that within every human being lie the pain & the beauty that make life worthwhile". (Bernie S. Siegel). " Dr Yalom is unusually honest both with his patients & about himself". (Anthony Storr). " Yalom is a gifted storyteller & from the sound of these tales a no-less-gifted psychotherapist". (Los Angeles Times). " This is an impressive transformation of clinical experience into literature. Dr Yalom's case histories are more gripping than 98 percent of the fiction published today & he has gone to amazing lengths of honesty to depict himself as a realistic flesh-&-blood character: funny flawed perverse & above all understanding". (Phillip Lopate). "I loved Love's Executioner. Dr Yalom has learned something that fiction writers learned years ago
- that people's mistakes are a lot more interesting than their triumphs". (Joanne Greenberg). About the author: Irvin D. Yalom is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. As well as an award-winning psychiatrist & psychotherapist he is an extremely prolific author. His many other works include The Gift of Therapy Staring at the Sun When Nietzsche Wept The Theory & Practice of Group Psychiatry The Schopenhauer Cure Lying on the Couch Momma & the Meaning of Life Existential Psychotherapy I'm Calling the Police Inpatient Group Psychotherapy Every Day Gets a Little Closer & The Spinoza Problem."
