Editorial Reviews:

Anyone interested in psychotherapy or personal growth will rejoice at the publication of The Gift of Therapy, a masterwork from one of today's most accomplished psychological thinkers.

From his thirty-five years as a practicing psychiatrist and as an award-winning author, Irvin D. Yalom imparts his unique wisdom in The Gift of Therapy. This remarkable guidebook for successful therapy is, as Yalom remarks, "an idiosyncratic mélange of ideas and techniques that I have found useful in my work. These ideas are so personal, opinionated, and occasionally original that the reader is unlikely to encounter them elsewhere. I selected the eighty-five categories in this volume randomly guided by my passion for the task rather than any particular order or system."

At once startlingly profound and irresistibly practical, Yalom's insights will help enrich the therapeutic process for a new generation of patients and counselors.

Summary: A wonderful book for all therapists, seasoned and new
Comment: This short book contains so many tidbits of treasure. One of my favorites is asking a client who cries what his tears would say if they could speak. I think this book offers something of value whether you are a beginning therapist or a seasoned professional. Irvin Yalom's writing is fresh, instructive, personable, and easy-to-read. - Cris Walker Roskelley, MFT, Author of the MFT Handbook titled "On the Road to Becoming a Successful Marriage and Family Therapist: An Insider's Handbook From Graduate School Through Licensure... and Beyond!"

Summary: Excellent Resource
Comment: This was one of the most helpful books I've read in my graduate experience. The lessons take the theory that we've learned and make it practical. Dr. Yalom's willingness to admit his mistakes and weaknesses makes his advice and insight much more relevant.

Summary: A Must Read
Comment: A must read for any "wanna be" therapist or counselor. Therapy is a gift for the receiver, but also for the giver of therapy.

Summary: The opinions of an experienced therapist
Comment: In this book Dr. Yalom gives practical suggestion and guidance to new therapist regarding things to do and avoid during therapy session. The book is written in a simple language making it an easy read. There are 85 chapters each being about 1-3 pages long. For the most part, the chapters are not based on any psychological orientations, except that the "here and now" approach is discussed. Some chapters may be obvious to the reader and others may be considered the opinion of an experienced therapist. Overall, it is a useful book for new therapists, therapists in training, and patients.
