The Gift of Therapy : An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients

Rating:
Summary: Good
Review: Yalom is helpful but at times settles into the grandfatherly role too easily, failing to interrogate his own beliefs as thoroughly as he should. Bad therapists could take some of his good ideas and use them to unhelpful purposes because the vagueness of the writing at times borders on sentimentality. A more rigorous approach would have avoided this and allowed Yalom's common sense a deeper coherence.
