內容簡介: |
The Gift of Therapy is the new book from the bestselling
author of Love''s Executioner. The culmination of master
psychiatrist Dr Irvin Yalom''s forty-five years'' work as a
therapist, this book illustrates through real case studies how
patients and therapists alike can get the most out of therapy.
Presented as eighty-five ''tips'' for ''beginner therapists'', Yalom
shares his own fresh approach and the insights he has gained while
treating his patients. Personal, and sometimes provocative, Yalom
includes some unorthodox suggestions: Let the patient matter to
you; Acknowledge your errors; Create a new therapy for each
patient; Three kinds of therapist self-disclosure; Revealing the
therapist''s personal life: use caution; Full interpretation of a
dream? Forget it!; Freud was not always wrong. This is an
entertaining, informative and insightful read for both beginner
and experienced therapists, patients, students and everyone with
an interest in the subject.
