Psychiatrist Dr. Irvin D. Yalom is married to a feminist scholar, which is highly surprising considering the fact that he regards women in a very sexualized and demeaning way.
Unless they were attractive women, he displayed a worrying degree of contempt towards his patients. He seemed to have one derogatory thought after another about them.
In the story 鈥楾he Fat Lady鈥� he even admits that his contempt for fat ladies 鈥榮urpassed all cultural norms鈥�. But the fat lady, Betty, offered him an opportunity to improve his personal skills as a therapist. She represented to him the 鈥榰ltimate countertransference challenge鈥� and for that very reason he offered to be her therapist.
鈥淚 have always been repelled by fat women. I find them repulsive : their absurd sidewise waddle, their absence of body contour 鈥� breasts, laps, buttocks, shoulders, jawlines, cheekbones, everything, everything I like to see in a woman, obscured in an avalanche of flesh. And I hate their clothes 鈥� the shapeless, baggy dresses or, worse, the stiff elephantine blue jeans. How dare they impose that body on the rest of us.鈥�
鈥淚 have always admired, perhaps more than many men, the woman鈥檚 body. No, not just admired : I have elevated, idealized, ecstacized it to a level and a goal that exceeds all reason. Do I resent the fat woman for her desecration of my desire, for bloating and profaning each lovely feature that I cherish? For stripping away my sweet illusion and revealing its base of flesh 鈥� flesh on the rampage?鈥�
Even after finishing this book a few months ago, this fat-lady-case is still on my mind from time to time. Reading about these ten psychotherapeutic cases was interesting ; the repeated denigratory comments on his patients however were often painful to read.
To be honest, I wouldn鈥檛 want to lie down on his couch!

There is no adventure more exciting, nothing so wonderful and frightening, and so fraught with danger, as delving into the mind of a human being.
On that point alone this book is moving and emotional and funny as few works of fiction can be.
When going on such a perilous journey into the true heart of darkness it behooves one to have an experienced and trustworthy guide.
Dr. Irving Yalom knows the terrain and the beasts that lurk within... yet I would prefer having Fred C. Dobbs showing me the way in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. At least with Dobbs you know where you stand.
Yalom is duplicitous and self aggrandizing, his writing screams contempt and distain for all but his most attractive female patients.
At the same time his writing, when keeping to the trail of his client's problems is compelling and insightful.
But it is Yalom's incessant and obnoxious inner monologue that ruins this book for me.
Yalom is smarmy and lascivious to women he finds attractive, and dismissive and cruel in his descriptions of those who don't match his standards. He compartmentalizes men in the same way.
When one women, far below his standards and the first of the ten case studies that make up the book says her last therapist called her on her "...shitty habits" Yalom tells us, 鈥淭his phrase startled me. It didn鈥檛 fit with the rest of her presentation.鈥� That's how I felt about him throughout the book. The insight he shows in the introduction of the book is waylaid time and time again by his incessant, obnoxious, and judgmental inner monologue. This, along with his ego and self-centeredness proved for a very unenjoyable read.
If I want to read the musings of a horndog I'll stick with Errol Flynn's "My Wicked Wicked Ways" and be spared the hubris.
But wait! What's this, an afterword! Ah, written 25 years after the book was first published. Now I'll see the wisdom of the man who wrote the introduction! Now, matured and distilled by age and experience, I'll see the wise reflections on his egotistic, insulting asides and comments of his freshman book.
But what to my wondering eyes do appear? He actually envies and praises his writing. He makes a very backhanded apology for what he wrote about one of his clients but finds room to lionize himself even there.
I don't care about his experience, reputation or certifications.
"If it looks like a schmuck, and it quacks like a schmuck, then it probably is a schmuck."

I had originally started Irvin D. Yalom's听newest release听Becoming Myself, where he mentioned this collection of stories which sounded more fitting because my attention span was slight听at the time.
Love's Executioner听and Other Tales of Psychotherapy offers a keen insight on ten patients,听from all walks of life,听who turned to therapy,听鈥渁ll ten were suffering the common problems of everyday life: loneliness, self-contempt, impotence, migraine headaches, sexual compulsivity, obesity, hypertension, grief, a consuming love obsession, mood swings, depression. Yet somehow (a 鈥渟omehow鈥� that unfolds differently in each story), therapy uncovered deep roots of these everyday problems鈥攔oots stretching down to the bedrock of existence.鈥�
Though the problems may be considered听鈥渃ommon problems of everyday life,鈥澨�Love's Executioner made them seem like anything but. Yalom听writes his patients with the utmost respect and interest.
I'd like to mention in particular one story that started off the collection on a bang for me with Thelma,听鈥渁 depressed, suicidal, seventy-year-old woman,鈥� who for the past eight years 鈥渃ould not relinquish her obsessive love for a man thirty-five years younger.鈥�
鈥淧erhaps the function of the obsession was simply to provide intimacy: it bonded her to another鈥攂ut not to a real person, to a fantasy.鈥�
My attention was riveted to her.听I went through a turmoil of emotions reading her story, and came out of it with a changed perspective of my own. It was such a wild ride that in the end I felt like both the doctor and the patient being treated. The longest piece, deservingly so.
鈥淵ou are you, you have your own existence, you continue to be the person you are from moment to moment, from day to day. Basically your existence is impervious to the fleeting thoughts, to the electromagnetic ripples occurring in some unknown mind. Try to see that. All this power that Matthew has鈥攜ou鈥檝e given it to him鈥攅very bit of it!鈥�
...
鈥淲hat goes on in another person鈥檚 mind, someone you never even see, who probably isn鈥檛 even aware of your existence, who is caught up in his own life struggles, doesn鈥檛 change the person you are.鈥�
I was easily swept away into the pensive and therapeutic writing style. It offered an introspective look into moments not many of us get to see represented.听The book also had many noteworthy lines that left听an imprint on me, such as:
鈥淵ou know, there is no one alive now who was grown-up when I was a child. So I, as a child, am dead. Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That鈥檚 when I will be truly dead鈥攚hen I exist in no one鈥檚 memory. I thought a lot about how someone very old is the last living individual to have known some person or cluster of people. When that old person dies, the whole cluster dies, too, vanishes from living memory. I wonder who that person will be for me. Whose death will make me truly dead?鈥�
This precise piece of commentary听struck me.
Speaking of which, this note on experiencing 鈥渓ove at first sight鈥� was so satisfying to agree on:听鈥淵ou don鈥檛 know this person. In a Proustian way, you鈥檝e packed this creature full of the attributes you so desire. You鈥檝e fallen in love with your own creation.鈥�
At the expense of sounding a bit abrasive,听this book was perfect for my nosy self that likes to hear personal stories without having to share something of myself in exchange. And though I did not agree with the tactics used in certain tales, I read on in fascination of the differing views of reality presented. Now, I can move on to Yalom's听newest release.
Oh, and one last thing I have to highlight upon ending my review, this piece on experiencing "crushes":
鈥淎t a conference approximately two years prior to meeting Thelma, I had encountered a woman who subsequently invaded my mind, my thoughts, my dreams. Her image took up housekeeping in my mind and defied all my efforts to dislodge it. But, for a time, that was all right: I liked the obsession and savored it afresh again and again. A few weeks later, I went on a week鈥檚 vacation with my family to a beautiful Caribbean island. It was only after several days that I realized I was missing everything on the trip鈥攖he beauty of the beach, the lush and exotic vegetation, even the thrill of snorkeling and entering the underwater world. All this rich reality had been blotted out by my obsession. I had been absent. I had been encased in my mind, watching replays over and over again of the same and, by then, pointless fantasy. Anxious and thoroughly fed up with myself, I entered therapy (yet again), and after several hard months, my mind was my own again and I was able to return to the exciting business of experiencing my life as it was happening.鈥�

Ugh, I am so disappointed. I very, very badly wanted to love this book. Staring at the Sun was revolutionary, and The Gift of Therapy unequivocally changed who I am as a mental health professional.
One of Yalom's greatest assets is that he has always been very open about his flaws, judgments, and humanness. But in this book, he reveals that he has many flaws and more judgments than most people I know. I started reading (well, listening, actually - I did this one on audiobook and managed to mostly ignore mispronunciations of words like "Rogerian" and "Marin County") with stars in my eyes. I was excited to be reading Yalom, who I've always placed on a pedestal as a therapy role model. And I was good for the first 3 or so stories... until "Fat Lady".
Maybe it's because I'm coming off the tails of "Shrill" by Lindy West, where she beautifully depicts the radical notion that a woman of any size has value. One of the best lines in Shrill, to paraphrase, is when Lindy says that her entire body is her - when she is at her thinnest, her body is all her. When she is at her fattest, her body is all her - there is not a thin lady waiting to come out. She talked about fat as a feminist issue, and how it plays into the objectification of women, and how women are taught that to have value, they have to deprive themselves, to hate their bodies, to tailor make themselves for the male gaze.
By contrast, Yalom's story of the "Fat Lady" describes, in detail, the disgust he has always felt towards obese women. I was with him at the beginning - a lot of people feel this way, and after all, everyone loves a reformed sinner, right? Yalom is known for telling stories of learning from the experiences of working with his clients. But the thing is... he never got reformed. As he tells the story of working with this fat woman, he talks about how she got motivated, joined the eating disorders program at a hospital he's affiliated with, and went on a liquid diet - ate literally no food for 6 months. HOW IS THAT OK??? (Also, how can a place that purports that this is healthy call itself an eating disorders treatment facility??) Yalom then goes on to describe how the pounds began to fall off this woman - she went from about 240 pounds to about 150 - and how she got more and more depressed as this happened, even having flashbacks of things that happened to her at the point in her life when she was at each weight as she hit it. But his description of her weight loss? "Slowly, I noticed a person was beginning to emerge." She was a person when she came to see you, you misogynistic jerk!
I tried listening to the stories after that, but I felt myself skipping parts, and forcing myself to pick up the book. It was really hard, because I saw everything through the lens of his telling of this story. I started to notice themes in other stories that told tales of his objectification of women: his counseling a man who viewed women as sex objects to think of women as human not in their own right, but because he has a daughter... his sexual attraction to several of his female clients, and his decision to keep difficult clients who were possibly beyond his scope of competence, simply because he found them physically attractive.
It's genuinely disappointing, because Yalom is a huge part of my therapy home. His ideas - the idea that therapy is a relationship (and works for that very reason), that authenticity and genuineness are key... these are the things I learned from reading his books and seeing him speak when I was a brand new baby therapist.
I hope I can manage not to throw the baby out with the bathwater - to keep The Gift of Therapy and Staring at the Sun on my bookshelf, and maybe even reread them. Maybe even to try one of his other books. But I'm not sure I can compartmentalize how appalled I was at this book, and I'm not 100% sure I should.

A friend gave me this book a few days ago. My friend is very well-educated, has lived all over the world, and has experienced more than most people. When he gave me the book, he said to me, "This book reflects my vision of the world".
How could I help but be intrigued?
Opening the book, he then read the following passage from the Preface: "Four givens are particularly relevant for psycho-therapy: the inevitability of death for each of us and for those we love; the freedom to make our lives as we will; our ultimate aloneness; and, finally, the absence of any obvious meaning or sense to life."
When I recently read the novel LIFE AND FATE, which takes its characters through the massive Battle of Stalingrad and Stalin's Great Terror, I couldn't help thinking how poor in material for great novels is the typical life of a prosperous, well-educated professional living today in the OECD. Compared to the intensity of the experiences described in LIFE AND FATE, even wonderful writers like Ian McEwan are boring.
But, as the Preface accurately foreshadows, there is nothing boring about LOVE'S EXECUTIONER, because my friend is right-- the four issues described in the Preface do indeed define the human condition.
In a sense, LOVE'S EXECUTIONER offers, in the broadest possible sense, the ancient wisdom found in Psalms 90: "Teach us to number our days: that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Dr. Yalom is quite frank about what he considers the "magical" thinking and "delusion" involved in religious belief, however. Aside from his commitment to unflinchingly acknowledge the truths he describes in his Preface (and therefore, "Teach us to number our days"), Dr. Yalom's faith resides in the healing potential of the relationship between the therapist and the patient. This could be generalised to incorporate the Second Commandment to "Love thy neighbour as thyself" with its emphasis on human relationships and mutual openness, but one senses that Dr. Yalom would acknowledge this point, at best, with a sardonic shrug--"Whatever gets you through the night."
Yalom is his own main character, and LOVE'S EXECUTIONER is a dramatic account of how the "character" Dr. Yalom undergoes dramatic encounters with deeply troubled characters not unlike the way the "character" Dante encounters vividly depicted souls in Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.
Like Dante's DIVINE COMEDY, LOVE'S EXECUTIONER is episodic. The ten tales all vary and will affect individual reader's differently. For some reason, I found the case of the morbidly obsese woman deeply moving, while being most unsettled by the cases of the elderly neurobiologist and the elderly accountant--perhaps because they were the patients most similar to me.

"From both my personal and professional experience, I had come to believe that the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully. A good working formula is: the more unlived life, or unrealized potential, the greater one's death anxiety."
In his book Love's Executioner, Irvin Yalom, a psychotherapist with several decades of experience, shares ten stories of individuals he counseled in a professional setting. Each of these tales revolves around different presenting problems, ranging from a man whose cancer has left him ravenous for sex to a woman who blames herself for her daughter's death years after her passing. Yalom ties together all of these unique clients with overarching themes pertaining to how we must accept and conquer our fear of death, how we must assume responsibility for the course of our lives, and how we must construct meaning within ourselves in order to thrive.
While some of those concepts might sound cliche - "how we must construct meaning," "assume responsibility for the course of our lives," "accept and conquer our fear of death" - Yalom presents them in fascinating, complex, and unpretentious ways. He examines his clients with an insightful lens, treats them like humans in an understanding and open relationship, and uses skilled therapeutic techniques to provoke insight and growth. Not all of his stories end on a clean note, and their ambiguous resolutions exemplify the complex and bumpy nature of therapy, similar to the convoluted quality of humans themselves.
Yalom's openness stands out as a strong point in this book. In his afterword, in which he reflects on writing this book at 55 after reading it again at 80, he admits to feeling embarrassed due to some of the content in Love's Executioner. Throughout the ten tales he discloses information such as how he had to work through his prejudice against fat people, how he urged a woman to put her dog to rest, and how he himself would get bored by certain clients. His honesty, his willingness to scrutinize himself, and his commitment to positive self-growth show that therapists, even experienced ones, still remain human. We all progress and learn together, even in a therapist-client relationship.
Recommended to those interested in psychology, therapy, and reading about people. A fascinating book that makes me want to read more of Yalom's writing, including his fiction.

Executing love, rationally.
Overcoming the fear of death. Accepting one's mortality...
Psychologists get some interesting tasks in their workdays, don't they?
Q:
That's when I will be truly dead - when I exist in no one's memory. (c)
Q:
I think my quarry is illusion. I war against magic. I believe that, though illusion often cheers and comforts, it ultimately and invariably weakens and constricts the spirit. (c)
Q:
I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy鈥擨, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good therapist fights darkness and seeks illumination, while romantic love is sustained by mystery and crumbles upon inspection. I hate to be love鈥檚 executioner. (c)
Q:
One of the great paradoxes of life is that self-awareness breeds anxiety. (c)
Q:
Some people are wish-blocked, knowing neither what they feel nor what they want. Without opinions, without impulses, without inclinations, they become parasites on the desires of others. (c)
Q:
People who feel empty never heal by merging with another incomplete person. On the contrary, two broken-winged birds coupled into one make for clumsy flight. No amount of patience will help it fly; and, ultimately, each must be pried from the other, and wounds separately splinted. (c)
Q:
... the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully. A good working formula is: the more unlived life, or unrealized potential, the greater one鈥檚 death anxiety. (c)

I could get long winded here (in fact my colleagues and I half joked about writing a response to this book called 鈥淵alom鈥檚 Executioner鈥� in which we deconstruct everything wrong with it) but I won鈥檛. Instead I鈥檒l just say that Yalom, while a phenomenal writer, is a despicable and morally repugnant person. As a counselor I felt repulsed by how he described his clients. His hubris and inability to check his privilege made this incredibly difficult to read. In fact, I stopped reading it halfway through because it was so upsetting, and I鈥檓 someone who hates leaving things unfinished. The fact that this is used in educational settings and that Yalom is well renowned and holds so much power in the field... WHY?! I actually regret buying this book because I put more money into this man鈥檚 pockets.

This book gave a lot of insights into the therapeutic process, but I found the guy a total putz--very self-aware of his own reactions to the patients he describes, but not so concerned about their own experience of the process that he wouldn't describe them in great detail to the world at large. Also, just comes off as self-satisfied; it made the reading distasteful, and I didn't finish in the end. I couldn't stand the supercilious sense he gives of being in some way, better than his clients.

Psichin臈 sveikata - vis dar tabu tema m奴s懦 visuomen臈je. Nors susilau啪ius koj膮 kreipiam臈s 寞 gydytoj膮 ir net nesusim膮stom, jog tai ka啪kokia g臈da. Psichologiniai sunkumai vis dar kartu su g臈dos jausmu ie拧koti pagalbos. Ai拧ku, ir pla膷ios palet臈s vis懦 kit懦.
Amerikietis psichoterapeutas Yalom turi i拧skirtin臋 dovan膮. Greta to, jog yra puikus savo srities specialistas, jis puikiai valdo plunksn膮. Tai jam leid啪ia sukurti nauj膮 literat奴ros 啪anr膮- psichoterapines noveles. Knygoje autorius pateikia 10 skirting懦 istorij懦, kurios leid啪ia tarsi u啪mesti ak寞 寞 tai, kas vyksta psichoterapeuto kabinete. Palie膷iamos labai 寞vairios temos: meil臈, liga, mirtis, valgymo sutrikimai, seksas, vaikai ir t.t. Manau, kiekvienas ras jam daugiau ar ma啪iau artim膮 tem膮. Yalom atviras- jis atskleid啪ia savo jausmus klient懦 at啪vilgiu ir juos analizuoja. Tikiu, kad i拧拧auks labai a拧tri懦 jausm懦. Pavyzd啪iui, pasipiktinim膮 ir smerkim膮. 艩tai vienoje istorijoje gydytojas atvirauja kaip labai jam atgrasi jo antsvorio turinti pacient臈 Bet臈. Plunksnos a拧trumas leid啪ia tuos jausmus nu拧viesti gana vaizd啪iai. Mes priprat臋 prie film懦 suformuoto psichologo 寞vaizd啪io, kad jie pabalnoj臋 savo nosytes dailiais akinukais raginiai r臈meliais, nutais臋 profesionali膮 emocij懦 nei拧duodan膷i膮 veido kauk臋 klauso ir profesionaliai patarin臈ja. Pasirodo ne- jie gali ka啪k膮 jausti. Paskui lyg ir suvoki kad viskas gerai- jie juk 啪mon臈s. Pykt寞 gydytojui nusveria pagarba, kai jis atskleid啪ia kaip su kiekvienu pacientu auga, kaip su啪ino ka啪k膮 naujo apie gyvenim膮, apie save.
Buvo viet懦, kai pagalvojau, jog psichologo/psichoterapeuto darbas tarsi intelektin臈 kova. Lyg kokie 拧achmatai. Specialistas narplioja j奴s懦 gyvenimo, min膷i懦 ir jausm懦 labirint膮. Pacientas kartais tam prie拧inasi. Laaabai 寞domu. Taip pat Yalomas pateikia nema啪ai filosofini懦 pam膮stym懦 apie gyvenim膮, apie da啪niausiai 啪mones kamuojan膷ias problemas.
Manau, turint galvoje, kad psichologi拧kai visi esame tokie jau 鈥渓abai sveiki鈥� ir niekam pagalbos atseit nereikia - tai vieniems 拧i knyga gal臈t懦 tapti puikia paspirtimi kreiptis 寞 specialistus pagalbos, kitiems gal jos ir nereikia, ta膷iau, jei bent kartais pafilosofuojate su savimi, atskleis atsakym膮 寞 ne vien膮 klausim膮, o dar kitiems tiesiog pad臈s legaliai paklausyti, kas gi tokio vyksta tuose paichoterapijos kabinetuose. Gero skaitymo!

The stories of 10 patients' experiences in psychotherapy - but they feel like much more.
The stories offer a surprisingly engaging window to peek into the struggles of patients w/ the very same existential pains and miseries everyone experiences. The author is a practicing therapist, and he based these stories on his patients (suitably amended to ensure anonymity). He reflects much on his own role in the therapeutic relationship, and these reflections are often as interesting as the stories of his patients.
Each person's story is engaging - their narrative just as intriguing as fiction. They each come to therapy to, somewhat, deal with their issues, and get better and move on. But some are really ready to see - and take in even painful insights about themselves; and ready to take painful steps to change. Others...sadly...are not. In this sense, these stories represent very nicely the same phenomenon in the rest of the human race. We are all getting older; and a few....are growing up.

Turns out it's no fun reading about peoples mental afflictions or a creepy psychoanalyst therapy session. Here's what you'll get in every chapter: The author introducing a patient, then berating them (with the exception of if they are a 'sexy' attractive women - then author will muse if he is helping the patient out of the goodness of his heart or because the patient is a sexy woman). God help you if you're a fat woman, Mr. Yalom is absolutely sickened by this filth. You'll hear the patient describe vividly a dream they had (yawn), at which point Mr. Yalom goes on to analyze this dream and self-proclaim his genius.

Oh man. Did I hate this book. Yalom is a turd. I really tried. I really did, but I cannot. We're meant to appreciate his honesty and study his counter-transference, but I'm telling you right now. Any other therapist could have written a brutally honest account of their work, and not come off as such a whiny, self-aggrandizing putz. All Yalom does is piss and moan that he's bored in sessions because his client is ugly, or a fatty, or whatever else is not the height of entertainment for him. Then he pats himself on the back for whatever nonremarkable accomplishment he does make. I'm told he's one of the greatest psychotherapists in all the land, but this book does nothing to illustrate that, as far as I can tell. I like to donate books, not ever throw them away, but this one here....pfffffft. Guinea pig litter. Everyone always says things in reviews like, "I wish I could give such-and-such book negative stars!" Well this time, I'm deathly serious. No, really.

I really, really do not like this guy. He used racial slurs completely casually for one thing, and he is so judgemental of his patients' physical appearance, it's difficult to take him seriously. He can't muster empathy for a woman because she's obese? Really? Not until she becomes "interesting" to him as a patient. If there's one thing I've taken from this, it's that therapists are judgemental assholes too sometimes. In this guy's case, often. I can only imagine how it must feel to have been a patient of his and read what his actual thoughts have been.

This idiot has no empathy for his patients, how could he possibly be a good therapist? Yalom's therapeutic "insights" were boring and obvious and with every page, I lost more and more respect for him due to his self-centered and arrogant manner. My sympathies to the patients that had to endure this misogynist for months during treatment.
