Jeffery Berman: That's How Jalom Wrote

The Art of Writing Therapeutic Stories

A unique and comprehensive study of Jalom's psychotherapeutic and literary work, the development and scope of Jalom's two identities and his two careers: as an existential psychotherapist and as a creative storyteller. Because no one has written better about the art of psychotherapy and psychotherapy as an art and no one has combined these two careers as skillfully as Irvin Jalom.

- I belong to those readers of Irvin Jalom's works who immediately after the first page make it perfectly clear that they will read everything else and listen to his every word. I immediately began to trust him and this has not left me for many years. I understood him as if he was writing especially for me (which sounds clear to you, although a bit uncomfortable and presumptuous) - Jeffrey Berman, professor of English literature and author of this book, wrote in the foreword, precisely describing how he feels when he reads Jalom, but also explains your reasons for writing this book.

The book provides detailed reviews of Jalom's textbooks, novels and psychotherapy stories in chronological order - from the textbook Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, through Existential psychotherapy, group psychotherapy of hospital patients, then the book Every day closer, the executioner of love, when Nietzsche cried, lied The meaning of life, The charms of psychotherapy, Schopenhauer's healing, A look at the sun, The problem of Spinoza, One day until the documentary film Healing with Jala from 2014 and his memoirs from 2017 about himself, which bid farewell to readers after a writing career of half a century. A chronological approach allowed Berman to follow how, when, where, and why Jalom changed his mind about certain things, to learn why Jalom is the most influential advocate of therapeutic self-disclosure to patients and clients, and why mental health professionals value his works as much as ordinary readers.
