genevieveashby 's review for:
I'm about 3/4 the way through school to become a therapist myself, and I got to see real-life clients for the first time this fall. I heard snippets from this book in the back of my mind so many times throughout the semester, sitting across from my clients, or thinking about them between sessions. I found my way to Yalom after landing on existentialism as my theoretical home base for counseling. His writing makes so much sense to me (and is so enjoyable to read), that I almost feel like he's my mentor, even though I've never met the man. If I ever did, I'd probably fan-girl out. He describes therapy the way I hope and wish for therapy to be, whether I'm the counselor or the client, and he does so without the mind-numbing academic drone that so many psychology books use. This really is a great book for anyone in therapy, regardless of the chair/couch they fill in the room.
