Psychotherapy

This is an old post from my now-defunct Myspace blog. I'm going to post some of the older postings in reverse chronological order to put a little meat on the bones of this puppy.

So I just reread a great book I had to read for my Existentialism and Phenomenology class as an undergrad: Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom, M.D. Yalom is a professor at Stanford and is regarded as one of the best psychotherapists alive today. The book is a great read if you think you're normal because some of his patients are pretty messed up. At the same time, they're all struggling with the same basic truths we all must eventually face. Definitely worth reading... go buy a used copy, or if you're a Chicagoan, borrow mine.
