Riassunto

Reevaluating his life after a brush with death, psychiatrist Julius Hertzfeld reconnects with former patient Philip, now studying to be a psychiatrist himself, and urges him to join Hertzfeld's therapy group, unaware that a woman Philip victimized years earlier is also a member of the group.

Recensione:

“A beautifully wrought tale of a therapy group’s final year and a moving debate about the end of life.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Considers the value and limits of therapy and those points at which philosophy and psychology converge.” (Washington Post)

“Yalom’s enthusiasm is contagious. And he certainly knows how to tell a page-turning story.” (Los Angeles Times)

“As a novel of ideas, this book effectively explores loss, sexual desire, and the search for meaning.” (Library Journal)

“Yalom’s melding of philosophy, pedantry, psychiatry and literature result in a surprisingly engaging novel of ideas.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“The world’s first accurate group-therapy novel, a mezmerizing story of two men’s search for meaning.” (Greensboro News & Record)

“Meticulous. [Yalom’s] re-creation of a working therapy group is utterly convincing.” (Publishers Weekly)
