Psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom probes further into the mysteries of the therapeutic encounter in this entertaining and thoughtful follow-up to his best-selling Love's Executioner.
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, Yalom's "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 therapist's heart and mind, Momma and the Meaning of Life illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship.

In Creatures of a Day, he and his patients confront the difficulty of these challenges. Although these people have come to Yalom seeking relief, recognition, or meaning, they discover that such things are rarely found in the places where we think to look.

Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure", Breuer never expects that he, too, will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient.

Er gewährt uns Einblick in seine Praxis, wo er seit vielen Jahren mit ganz unterschiedlichen Methoden an den Problemen seiner Patient*innen arbeitet und sich dabei nicht scheut, über die Grenzen der etablierten Therapieformen hinauszugehen.

In December 2017 the famous porn star August Ames committed suicide in a park in the Conejo Valley. It happened a day after she’d been the victim of a Twitter pile-on by fellow porn professionals. A month later, August’s husband Kevin connected with the writer Jon Ronson so they could piece together the story of how Twitter bullying killed his wife. What neither Kevin nor Ronson realised was that Ronson would soon hear rumours and secrets hinting at a very different story - something mysterious and unexpected and terrible.

On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

Ton und Stimme des Sprechers ruinieren das Buch!
Wer "Becomin Myself " gelesen von Peter Berkrot gehört hat bleibt von der inadäquaten Stimme des Sprechers (Traber Burns) tief frustriert. Einfach weil sich die Yalom Bücher wie warme Semmeln verkaufen ist nicht ein Grund, eine so offensichtlich unpassende und störende Stimme für das Buch auszuwählen.

Die besten Geschichten schreibt das Leben
Yalom schreibt wunderbare Belletristik und ist darüber hinaus ein weltbekannter Psychologe (bzw. eigentlich umgekehrt ;-). Entsprechend "dicht" sind seine Zeichnungen der Charaktere.
Dieses Buch ist nun eine Sammlung von tatsächlichen Geschichten aus seiner Praxis, die aber für jedermann interessant und spannend zu lesen/hören sind. Seine Patienten erscheinen dabei als ganz normale Menschen, die aber von besonderen Problemen erdrückt werden. Bei der Schilderung dieser beeindruckt neben seiner Erzählweise auch Yaloms tiefe Menschlichkeit und Empathie.
Die realen Geschichten gefallen mir dabei um einiges besser als die fiktiven am Ende. Ích habe überlegt wegen ihnen sogar 1 Stern abzuziehen. Ich fand sie eher unnötig.
Yaloms wohl letztes Buch, seine Autobiographie, soll demnächst erscheinen. Darauf freue ich mich schon riesig.
