nkmustdie's review against another edition
Yalom is absolutely disgusting. His immediate and cruel judgements of the included patients keep him from seeing them at their base as humans. His internal narration and dialogue are nothing but unhelpful brags about his own life or career or else long-winded rants dehumanizing a patient that he doesn't find interesting (is not a patient's responsibility to entertain their therapist), considered a patient delusional because he thought her too old to ever be considered as someone who could have a romantic relationship, and finds it easier to sympathize with a would-be rapist than a fat woman.
Graphic: Rape, Terminal illness, Sexual content, Sexual assault, Infidelity, Medical content, Child death, Body shaming, Emotional abuse, Death of parent, Fatphobia, Toxic relationship, Suicidal thoughts, Sexual violence, Grief, Cancer, Abandonment, Suicide attempt, Mental illness, Medical trauma, Eating disorder, Death, and Chronic illness
