مامان و معنای زندگی: داستان های روان درمانی

Bestselling author of Loves Executioner and The Gift of Therapy, psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom probes further into the mysteries of the therapeutic encounter in this entertaining and thoughtful collection.In six enthralling stories drawn from his own clinical experience, Irvin D. Yalom once again proves himself an intrepid explorer of the human psyche as he guides his patients--and himself--toward transformation. With eloquent detail and sharp-eyed observation Yalom introduces us to a memorable cast of characters. Drifting through his dreams and trampling through his thoughts are Paula, Yaloms courtesan of death Myrna, whose eavesdropping gives new meaning to patient confidentiality Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows, even as he strives to ease hers and Momma--ill-tempered, overpowering, and suffocating her son with both love and disapproval.A richly rewarding, almost illicit glimpse into the therapists heart and mind, Momma and the Meaning of Life illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship.
