Love's Executioner

Irvin D. Yalom · first published 1989 · ISBN 9780747504795

Yalom presents ten complete cases from his own practice, showing how therapy actually unfolds with real clients over time. Each case is written as narrative: you hear his thinking, see his mistakes, follow the turns the relationship takes. The book reveals the craft of therapy in action, the way a skilled clinician follows the client and adapts, the moments where something shifts.
