The collection of ten absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter. In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist. Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.

Betty, what's the danger in letting me matter to you?
I am not sure. It feels scary, like I'll need you too much. I'm not sure you'll be there for me. I'm going to have to leave California in a year, remember?"
A year's a long time. So you avoid me now because you won't always have me?
I know it doesn't make sense. But I do the same thing with California. I like New York and I don't want to like California. I'm afraid that, if I form friends here and start to like it, I might not want to leave. The other thing is that I start to feel "Why bother?" I'm here for such a short time. Who wants temporary friendships?
The problem with that attitude is you end up with an unpeopled life. Maybe that's part of the reason you feel empty inside. One way or another, every relationship must end. Ther... (查看原文)
I DO NOT LIKE to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy——I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good therapist fights darkness and seeks illumination, while romantic love is sustained by mystery and crumbles upon inspection. I hate to be love's executioner. (查看原文)
Thought-provoking and insightful, Dr. Yalom's love's executioner is brimmed with wisdom, vulnerability and reflection about life and psychotherapy. It has been a blessing reading through this book both as a psychotherapist and a human myself. This book not ...

10个故事讨论了两件事，对死亡的恐惧，以及面对永恒的孤独。没什么连环杀手和10几重人格的故事，都是日常累积起来的心理问题，有些人治愈了，另一些没有。关于直面现实，关于自我认知，关于寻找答案，讨论和寻求的过程都非常非常有启发性。另，作者确实是非常会讲故事的人。

心理医生不仅要抑制自己judge病人的冲动，还要放下骄傲承认自己会有无能为力的时候: 有些病人是你治不好的，无论你多努力。即使是长时间的心理治疗也没办法彻底改变病人的行为模式，mood swing袭来时，根本躲不开(这一点本人深有体会)。我会因为别人的一句话，一整天闷闷不乐。也会因为一件小事，欢欣雀跃好久，事情可以小到一首好听的歌，一部打动我的电影。成为更好的自己真的很难啊。
