The Gift of Psychotherapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients

Irvin Yalom's The Gift of Psychotherapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Clients is unique in that it includes an interview with the author and an essay by him, "Update: New Thoughts, New Developments," in which Dr. Yalom, reflecting on what he would change now, makes additions to his original text.

This book is primarily addressed to novice psychotherapists and psychology students, with whom Irvin Yalom shares his experience working with clients. These are 85 simple and at the same time wise, personal and provocative tips that will not only help young psychotherapists in their work, but will also relieve them of the insecurity inherent in beginners.

Reading this book is surprisingly easy - it's like talking to an experienced colleague, wise and friendly, with whom you can share your fears and doubts, receiving support and understanding in return.
