Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy » (Reprint)

Irvin D. Yalom, M.D., is the author of The Schopenhauer Cure, Lying on the Couch, Every Day Gets a Little Closer, and Love's Executioner, as well as several classic textbooks on psychotherapy. When Nietzsche Wept was a bestseller in Germany, Israel, Greece, Turkey, Argentina, and Brazil with millions of copies sold worldwide. Yalom is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Stanford University, and he divides his practice between Palo Alto, where he lives, and San Francisco, California.

In this long-awaited follow-up to the bestselling Love’s Executioner, master psycho-therapist Irvin Yalom once again probes the mysteries and marvels at the heart of the therapeutic encounter.

William Peter Blatty

In every chapter, an epiphany, a tug at the heart or a gasp of realization. And 'The Hungarian Cat Curse' will be read aloud for decades, possibly forever. This isn't a book'it's a gift. I only wish that Irvin Yalom lived next door.
