Synopsis

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom, intimate stories from the therapist’s chair

“Dr. Yalom demonstrates once again that in the right hands, the stuff of therapy has the interest of the richest and most inventive fiction.” ―New York Times


In this bestselling classic, master psychotherapist Dr. Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter. As he recounts the real-life dilemmas of his patients, Yalom provides a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires, motivations, and fears. In doing so, he also tells his own story, as he struggles to reconcile his all-too-human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist.

Told with stunning insight and deep empathy, Love’s Executioner reveals the deepest truths of the shared human condition.
