Summary
Irvin D. Yalom: Magic of Psychotherapy
The book Magic of Psychotherapy, by the famous psychotherapist and psychiatrist, Irvin Yalom, is indispensable in the library of every professional and student. In the book, this 87-year-old guru of psychotherapy selflessly shares 85 important tips with young psychotherapists, and his messages about everything they need to know about psychotherapy are valuable to everyone who works with people - psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, counselors....
The author took the advice from his notes created during almost half a century of clinical practice, but the book is in no way intended as a systematic manual. Instead, the author intended it to serve as a supplement to a comprehensive training program, and he chose the 85 categories in this book at random and decided on those that most interested him. He has grouped them in a more convenient way for readers.
The text of the book is interspersed with a large number of Yalom's favorite specific phrases and interventions, while he simultaneously encourages spontaneity, creativity and the hope that readers will find their own creative way to adapt what he has learned to their own conditions and apply it in their specific work environments.
