Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy

"This novel is amazing, as Yalom usually is. I was not dissapointed. I loved the stories based loosely on real cases and also loved the fictional stories. He's a talented writer, and as a young therapist I learn so much every time I read his work."

"Great read for those interested in the counseling/psychology field. I would not recommend to be used as 'educational' but covers a lot of information on grief. The last two chapters are fictional but the rest are based on real clients. "

"Dr Yalom shares in "Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy" a unique window into the workings of a master psychotherapist. Dr Yalom elegantly describes what and how he learns from patients struggling through complex therapeutic journeys, modestly giving them credit for helping him become a more sensitive therapist.
A real gem that I have shared with colleagues and friends which I recommend for anyone wanting to be a psychotherapist

"This book is simply wonderful. The first chapter about Momma is worth the price of the book all by itself. Whether one is a therapist, is in therapy, is curious about therapy, or just wants to understand life, read this book, in fact, read all of Yalom's books, (well, maybe not "The Practice of Group Therapy") That one is a textbook for practicing group therapists."
