The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients by Irvin D. Yalom

3.0

---

Totally unlike his other collections of therapy-related stories, this is a fairly practical, list-like book of tips for practicing psychotherapists. There aren't as many case studies and much of the advice is boring to a patient or lay person -- how much time to leave between clients, how to take notes on a patient, etc. -- but it's an interesting look into the mind of a therapist.
