Irvin D. Yalom Libri

È un giorno di ottobre del 1882 e Josef Breuer, psichiatra geniale e medico personale di artisti e filosofi a Vienna, si trova al Caffè Sorrento con Lou Salomé, una giovane donna di straordinaria bellezza. Lou lo ha convocato per una questione urgente che coinvolge il futuro della filosofia tedesca. Preoccupata per la vita del suo amico Friedrich Nietzsche, lo descrive come un pensatore in profonda prostrazione, afflitto da sintomi gravi: emicrania, cecità parziale, nausea, insonnia, febbri e anoressia, che lo portano a usare morfina in dosi pericolose. Breuer, stimato medico e futuro padre della psicanalisi, è oppresso dai legami della vita borghese e turbato dalla sua paziente Bertha. Attraverso Lou, apprende della disperazione di Nietzsche, che diventerà il suo illustre paziente. Breuer sottoporrà il filosofo alle sue cure, convinto che la guarigione del corpo passi attraverso quella dell’anima. Durante le sedute, si instaurerà un dialogo profondo e coinvolgente, in cui Breuer cercherà di scoprire le radici del male oscuro di Nietzsche e indurlo ad aprirsi.

Cosa fare quando si riceve una diagnosi mortale? Questa è la domanda che si pone il noto psicoanalista Julius Hertzfeldt dopo un apparente controllo di routine dal medico. Per anni, il sessantacinquenne ha aiutato gli altri ad affrontare la finitezza di tutto, ma ora deve confrontarsi con la propria. La sua vita professionale è stata davvero significativa? Cosa dire dei pazienti in cui ha fallito? Un caso in particolare, risalente a decenni fa, lo tormenta. Aveva trattato un uomo per la sua dipendenza sessuale per oltre tre anni, senza alcun risultato. Cosa è successo a Philip Slate? Quando Hertzfeldt ritrova il suo ex paziente, scopre con sorpresa che Slate afferma di essersi curato da solo grazie alla lettura di Arthur Schopenhauer. Ora lavora come consulente filosofico e desidera ottenere una licenza come terapeuta. Chiede a Hertzfeldt di supervisionarlo, ma l'analista è incredulo, poiché Slate è rimasto lo stesso uomo arrogante e senza scrupoli di un tempo. Alla fine, Hertzfeldt accetta, ma con una condizione: Slate deve partecipare al suo gruppo di terapia.

The noted Stanford University psychiatrist distills the essence of a wide range of therapies into a masterful, creative synthesis, opening up a new way of understanding each person's confrontation with four ultimate concerns: isolation, meaninglessness, death, and freedom.

"A co-written project by Irvin and Marilyn Yalom, which describes their heartbreaking journey as a couple married 65 years facing the end of their long partnership. A longtime teacher and therapist on the subject of death anxiety, Dr. Yalom now confronts the loss of his wife and his own mortality. This book will offer wisdom from one of the foremost existential psychiatrists and illuminate the importance of relationships-friendship, family, and romantic-as we all age"--

Tells the story of the seventeenth-century thinker Baruch Spinoza, his philosophy and subsequent excommunication from the Jewish community, and his apparent influence on the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg, whose einsatzgruppe was dispatched during the Second world war to investigate a mysterious "Spinoza Problem".

From one of the most celebrated and highly respected authorities in the field of psychotherapy comes a collection of his best works. In this anthology of Yalom's most influential work to date, readers experience the diversity of his writings, with pieces that range from the highly concrete and clinical to the abstract and theoretical.

This new edition includes over twenty additional pages of new therapy tips by the author reflecting on the major issues and changes he has seen in the world of therapy since he first wrote this book in 2002. schovat popis

The collection of ten absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter.  In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist.  Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.

Written in Irv Yalom's inimitable story-telling style, Staring at the Sun is a profoundly encouraging approach to the universal issue of mortality. In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr. Yalom helps us recognize that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our anxiety. Such recognition is often catalyzed by an "awakening experience"—a dream, or loss (the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job or home), illness, trauma, or aging. Once we confront our own mortality, Dr. Yalom writes, we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.

The classic work on group psychotherapy Hailed by Jerome Frank as "the best book that exists on the subject," Irvin D. Yalom's The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has been the standard text in the field for decades. In this completely revised and updated fifth edition, Dr. Yalom and his collaborator Dr. Molyn Leszcz expand the book to include the most recent developments in the field, drawing on nearly a decade of new research as well as their broad clinical wisdom and expertise. New topics include: online therapy, specialized groups, ethnocultural diversity, trauma and managed care. At once scholarly and lively, this is the most up-to-date, incisive, and comprehensive text available on group psychotherapy.

Bestselling writer and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom puts himself on the couch in a lapidary memoir Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is twelve, and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson. As Becoming Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker whose books have been a beacon to so many. This is not simply a man's life story, Yalom's reflections on his life and development are an invitation for us to reflect on the origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives.

"Yalom describes his patients' struggles-- as well as his own-- to come to terms with the two great challenges of existence: how to have a meaningful life, and how to reckon with its inevitable end"--Dust jacket flap.

Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work -- and seeks out Philip Slate, a sex addict whom he failed to help some twenty years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured -- miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer -- and is, himself, a philosophical counselor in training. Philips dour, misanthropic stance compels Julius to invite Philip to join his intensive therapy group in exchange for tutoring on Schopenhauer. But with mere months left, life may be far too short to help Philip or to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the group members. And then again, it might be just long enough.

From the bestselling author of Love's Executioner and When Nietzsche Wept comes a provocative exploration of the unusual relationships three therapists form with their patients. Seymour is a therapist of the old school who blurs the boundary of sexual propriety with one of his clients. Marshal, who is haunted by his own obsessive-compulsive behaviors, is troubled by the role money plays in his dealings with his patients. Finally, there is Ernest Lash. Driven by his sincere desire to help and his faith in psychoanalysis, he invents a radically new approach to therapy -- a totally open and honest relationship with a patient that threatens to have devastating results.Exposing the many lies that are told on and off the psychoanalyst's couch, Lying on the Couch gives readers a tantalizing, almost illicit, glimpse at what their therapists might really be thinking during their sessions. Fascinating, engrossing and relentlessly intelligent, it ultimately moves readers with a denouncment of surprising humanity and redemptive faith.

The many thousands of readers of the best-selling Love's Executioner will welcome this paperback edition of an earlier work by Dr. Irvin Yalom, written with Ginny Elkin, a pseudonymous patient whom he treated -- the first book to share the dual reflections of psychiatrist and patient. Ginny Elkin was a troubled young and talented writer whom the psychiatric world had labeled as "schizoid." After trying a variety of therapies, she entered into private treatment with Dr. Irvin Yalom at Stanford University. As part of their work together, they agreed to write separate journals of each of their sessions. Every Day Gets a Little Closer is the product of that arrangement, in which they alternately relate their descriptions and feelings about their therapeutic relationship.

Insightful and compelling, this book offers a deep exploration of its subject and the historical context of the times. Praised for its engaging narrative, it promises a fabulous reading experience that captivates and informs, making it a noteworthy addition to any literary collection.

One of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time offers a deeply moving chronicle of the challenges and breakthroughs that come from a wholly new practice of one-time-only therapy sessions. Facing memory loss at age ninety-three as well as the fallout from a global pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin D. Yalom was forced to revolutionise his practice. Rather than rail against these changes, Dr Yalom turned his focus to what might be achieved between patient and practitioner in just a one-hour, one-time-only meeting. In Hour of the Heart, Yalom recounts some of these intense, life-changing sessions, exploring an array of human predicaments and his own late-career development as a therapist. In recounting these consultations, he shows how a therapist's willingness to be open helps patients let down their own guards, leading to a deeper and more immediate connection - one necessary to achieving profound realisations in just sixty minutes. Written in collaboration with his son, Hour of the Heart shows us how to relate to each other, with more honesty and vulnerability. That hour of connection helped to sustain both patient and therapist, and enriched Yalom's vision of what psychotherapy can do.

Dožiť sa deväťdesiatky je krásne, ale zároveň musíte čeliť nový výzvam – vaše vlastné telo už úplne neposlúcha a čosi podobné platí aj o mysli. Irvin Yalom vo svojej novej knihe opisuje stretnutia s pacientmi, ktoré kvôli výpadkom pamäti musel obmedziť na jednorazové hodinové konzultácie, niečo, čo bolo v zdanlivom rozpore s celou jeho dovtedajšou praxou. Dokážete niekomu pomôcť za hodinu a je šanca, že sa v takom krátkom čase ľudsky zblížite? Revolučná prax zameraná na ešte väčší dôraz využívania jeho prístupu „tu a teraz“ priniesla svoje plody. Obľúbený terapeut-veterán zistil, že sa môže s novými pacientmi dostať čoraz hlbšie, a to v skrátenom čase, bez nárazníka budúcich stretnutí. V knihe opisuje niektoré z týchto intenzívnych konzultácií, ktoré zmenili jeho život, a skúma množstvo ľudských ťažkostí, ako aj svoj vlastný vývoj na konci kariéry terapeuta. Ukazuje, ako ochota terapeuta byť otvorený pomáha pacientovi poľaviť vo vlastnej ostražitosti, čo vedie k hlbšiemu a bezprostrednejšiemu spojeniu. Pre Yaloma táto otvorenosť znamenala, že si dovolil odhaliť detaily zo svojho osobného života, od detstva vo Washingtone s rodičmi prisťahovalcami až po nedávnu smrť manželky a otázky o pôsobení psychoterapie v našom živote.

Im vorliegenden Buch, das erstmals auf Deutsch erscheint, beleuchtet Yalom alle wesentlichen Aspekte der Gruppenpsychotherapie: Wie muss sie beschaffen sein, damit sie funktioniert? Welchen Prinzipien sollte sie folgen? Welcher Art sind die Unterschiede zwischen stationärer und ambulanter Betreuung? Wie könnte ein Modell erfolgreicher Arbeit mit Gruppen aussehen? Ein Buch für die Fachwelt wie den interessierten Laien gleichermaßen.

Kniha je pojata jako rozhovor s I. D. Yalomem a současně stručný úvod do jeho díla. Rozhovor na začátku a konci knihy popisuje cestu I. D. Yaloma k psychiatrii, jeho akcenty v chápání lidského bytí, psychiky a přístupu k psychickému utrpení člověka. Představuje také I. D. Yaloma jako spisovatele, který k psaní existenciálních příběhů tíhl od počátků své profesionální dráhy. Na pozadí Yalomových děl a citací z nich se autorka zabývá jeho chápáním dilemat lidské existence, psychoterapeutického procesu, vztahu mezi psychoterapií a filozofií a možnostmi psychoterapie vůbec.

Über eine tiefe Freundschaft und das Ende eines langen Schweigens Irvin D. Yalom erzählt in »Ein menschliches Herz« die Geschichte seines guten Freundes Bob Berger, der seit seiner Kindheit während des Holocaust in Ungarn, zwei Leben führte: eines tagsüber als engagierter und exzellenter Herzchirurg – und ein nächtliches, in dem Bruchstücke entsetzlicher Erinnerungen durch seine Träume geisterten. Jahrzehntelang verdrängte Berger durch unermüdlichen Arbeitseifer seine schrecklichen Erlebnisse, bis sie sich während einer nicht ungefährlichen medizinwissenschaftlichen Reise nach Venezuela wieder Bahn brachen.

Co když máte na terapeutický rozhovor právě jen tu jednu hodinu? Nic víc, nic delšího, žádné pokračování? Může se během jedné hodiny člověk skutečně otevřít? A co terapeut, pojme během omezeného času to, co mu chce klient sdělit, a dospějí spolu k nějakému závěru? Kniha slavného psychologa a spisovatele nabízí příběhy, které se odehrály během jediného hodinového sezení, jež navíc proběhlo online. Mezi jeho klienty se objevují lidé z celého světa a během intenzivních hodin, kdy občas obě strany zápasí s připojením nebo nastavením mikrofonu, se odehrávají intimní a velmi osobní setkání. Irvin Yalom už totiž ve svém věku nemá co ztratit, a tak se jako jeho románový terapeut Ernest ze Lží na pohovce rozhodl pro upřímnou terapii. Nebude se před klienty schovávat, řekne jim o sobě i věci, které by jinak možná tajil. To jim pomůže otevřít během jedné jediné hodiny celé jejich srdce.
