Su questo libro

Recensione:

“These spellbinding tales of pain and of healing transport us into the very core of the therapeutic experience.” (Maggie Scarf, author of Intimate Worlds)

“This is a chance to get inside the mind of a brilliant therapist and witness the soul breaking through. Like the first light of dawn, Momma and the Meaning of Life is warm, radiant and revealing.” (Mark Epstein, M.D., author of Thoughts Without a Thinker and Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart)

“Unlike most psychotherapists, Yalom can tell a story and tell it so well that it is easy to forget that what one is reading is a distillation of weeks, months, even years of therapeutic work. . . . And Yalom does it with enviable openness and style.” (Times Literary Supplement (London))

“Yalom absorbingly recounts the resilience some patients bring to the task of healing themselves.” (Booklist)

“[Yalom] again displays the great narrative drive and wit evident in Love’s Executioner. . . . These six engrossing narratives are very valuable gleanings from a master therapist’s professional and personal experience. (Kirkus)
