Inseparables

Autor: Marilyn Yalom , Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 240

Una oda al amor, además de precioso homenaje al cuidado de los seres queridos que aborda todos los temas existenciales que nos conciernen. Vuelve Irvin Yalom, uno de los psicoanalistas de mayor reconocimiento mundial y autor de El día que Nietzche lloró. Última obra del psiquiatra y autor, escrita a cuatro manos con su esposa, la académica y escritora Marylin Yalom, y en la que, a medio camino entre el memoir y la novela de superación personal, narran en primera persona y a capítulos alternos los últimos 12 meses de vida de ella, desde el momento en el que le diagnostican una enfermedad terminal, hasta que finalmente se produce el desenlace. Una obra en la que la pareja, casados durante 65 años, explican sin tabús y con gran dulzura cómo encajan en primer lugar el diagnóstico y cómo afrontan, la enfermedad y su desarrollo. Así, mientras Marilyn deberá aprender a tener una buena muerte, Irvin tendrá que aprender a vivir sin ella, además de enfrentarse, también, a su propia muerte.

Psicoterapia existencial

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 642

La terapia existencial se practica en diferentes formas y contextos en todas partes del mundo. Pero hacía falta una obra que le diera una estructura coherente; una obra que analizara sus postulados y evaluara su utilidad. El doctor Irvin D. Yalom proporciona a la psicoterapia existencial una base sólida, una síntesis y un marco de referencia de inapreciable valor. La obra identifica las cuatro preocupaciones que, para Yalom, son esenciales en la vida: la muerte, la libertad, el aislamiento y la carencia de un sentido vital. Define el significado de cada una y los conflictos que se derivan de nuestra confrontación con ellas. Psicoterapia existencial proporciona una base intelectual a los psicoterapeutas que han experimentado la incompatibilidad entre ciertas teorías ortodoxas y su propia experiencia clínica y abre horizontes a la investigación empírica.

Creatures of a Day

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 224

"The publication of Creatures of a Day is reason to celebrate." -- Steven Pinker In this stunning collection of stories, renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. 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 yet reckon with its inevitable end. We meet a nurse who must stifle the pain of losing her son in order to comfort her patients' pains, a newly minted psychologist whose studies damage her treasured memories of a lost friend, and a man whose rejection of psychological inquiry forces even Yalom himself into a crisis of confidence. Creatures of a Day is a radically honest statement about the difficulties of human life, but also a celebration of some of the finest fruits -- love, family, friendship -- it can offer. Marcus Aurelius has written that "we are all creatures of a day." With Yalom as our guide, we will find the means to make our own day not only bearable, but also meaningful and joyful.

Existential Psychotherapy

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 687

The definitive account of existential psychotherapy. First published in 1980, Existential Psychotherapy is widely considered to be the foundational text in its field— the first to offer a methodology for helping patients to develop more adaptive responses to life’s core existential dilemmas. In this seminal work, American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom finds the essence of existential psychotherapy and gives it a coherent structure, synthesizing its historical background, core tenets, and usefulness to the practice. Organized around what Yalom identifies as the four "ultimate concerns of life"—death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness—the book takes up the meaning of each existential concern and the type of conflict that springs from our confrontation with each. He shows how these concerns are manifest in personality and psychopathology, and how treatment can be helped by our knowledge of them. Drawing from clinical experience, empirical research, philosophy, and great literature, Yalom provides an intellectual home base for those psychotherapists who have sensed the incompatibility of orthodox theories with their own clinical experience, and opens new doors for empirical...

La nueva novela de Irvin D. Yalom, un autor por descubrir que suma y suma lectores prácticamente en secreto. El 10 de mayo de 1940, las tropas nazis de Hitler invaden los Países Bajos. Desde febrero de 1941, a cargo del cuerpo de la expedición encargado del expolio, el Reichsleiter Rosenberg se apresura en llegar a Ámsterdam para confiscar la biblioteca de Spinoza. ¿Qué misteriosa fascinación puede ejercer, tres siglos después, la obra del filósofo judío sobre el ideólogo nazi Rosenberg? ¿Quién fue aquel hombre, excomulgado en 1656 por la comunidad judía de Ámsterdam y expulsado de su propia familia? A través de una figura como Spinoza, Yalom utiliza los recursos de análisis psicológico y de la intriga para hablar del miedo, de Dios y la fe. En la línea de su bestseller El día que Nietzsche lloró, esta nueva novela de Irvin Yalom, a una vez incisiva y palpitante, nos mantiene en vilo frente a la gran incógnita que plantea El problema de Spinoza.

Writing the Talking Cure

Autor: Jeffrey Berman

Número de Páginas: 338

A distinguished psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Irvin D. Yalom is also the United States' most well-known author of psychotherapy tales. His first volume of essays, Love's Executioner, became an immediate best seller, and his first novel, When Nietzsche Wept, continues to enjoy critical and popular success. Yalom has created a subgenre of literature, the "therapy story," where the therapist learns as much as, if not more than, the patient; where therapy never proceeds as expected; and where the therapist's apparent failure provesultimately to be a success. Writing the Talking Cure is the first book to explore all of Yalom's major writings. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Jeffrey Berman comments on Yalom's profound contributions to psychotherapy and literature and emphasizes the recurrent ideas that unify his writings: the importance of the therapeutic relationship, therapist transparency, here-and-now therapy, the prevalence of death anxiety, reciprocal healing, and the idea of the wounded healer. Throughout, Berman discusses what Yalom can teach therapists in particular and the common (and uncommon) reader in general.

Mirar al sol Irvin D. Yalom Irvin D. Yalom se ha consolidado como el principal divulgador de la psicoterapia de los últimos veinte años. Su obra concilia la psicología con los intereses filosóficos y existenciales del ser humano. Este nuevo libro indaga sobre el miedo a la muerte. Vinculado a la depresión, el estrés y la violencia, es este temor el que también impulsa a la especie humana a preocuparse por la educación de los niños, la creencia en un ser superior, o la perpetuación del nombre: todas formas de mitigarlo. Sin embargo, es probable que la única verdadera provenga del mundo interno de cada individuo y de su capacidad de “despertar”. Aceptar la idea de la finitud, mirar a la muerte a la cara, no sólo aplaca la angustia y el terror, sino que vuelve a la existencia más intensa y vital.

De therapeut

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Na zich jarenlang te hebben verdiept in het innerlijk leven van zijn cliënten, verlegt vooraanstaand psychiater Irvin D. Yalom in zijn roman De therapeut zijn aandacht naar de andere kant van de therapeutische relatie: die van de therapeut zelf. Zoals Seymour, een al wat oudere therapeut die seksuele fatsoensnormen op geheel eigen wijze interpreteert. Of Marshal die, achtervolgd door dwangneuroses, geld een wat ongelukkige rol laat spelen. Of Ernest Lash die bij wijze van experiment echt 'eerlijk' wordt met een patiënt...

Every Day Gets a Little Closer

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom , Ginny Elkin

Número de Páginas: 240

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.

Psicoterapia existencial y terapia de grupo

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 0

Desde el principio de su carrera en su esfuerzo por comprender y ensenar la psicoterapia Irvin D. Yalom se sintio fascinado por dos de las principales aproximaciones a la cuestion: la terapia de grupo y la terapia existencial. Primero, como medico y cientifico, sus textos se basaron en la investigacion empirica. Mas tarde, a medida que exploraba el campo de la terapia existencial, empezo a pensar que las preguntas esenciales en torno a la vida humana no se prestan a la investigacion empirica. Sin embargo, su trabajo anterior a ese descubrimiento continua siendo esencial en el campo en cuestion, como demuestra la recopilacion de ensayos recogida en este volumen, complementario de otro titulado Psicologia y literatura, tambien publicado por Paidos, y dedicado a las relaciones del autor con las artes narrativas. Y es que desde el principio de su carrera Yalom supo que la mejor contribucion que podia hacer a la psiquiatria seria como narrador. De ahi que los textos que conforman este libro, aun nosiendo especificamente literarios, utilicen el relato como terapia, tanto desde el punto de vista del profesional como del paciente. De la adiccion al alcohol a las enfermedades terminales,...

I'm Calling the Police

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 64

"Something heavy is going on -- the past is erupting -- my two lives, night and day, are joining. I need to talk." Irv Yalom's old medical school friend was making a plea for help. In their fifty years of friendship, Bob Berger had never divulged his nocturnal terrors to his close comrade. Now, finally, he found himself forced to. In I'm Calling the Police, Berger recounts to Yalom the anguish of a war-torn past: By pretending he was a Christian, Berger survived the Holocaust. But after a life defined by expiation and repression, a dangerous encounter has jarred loose the painful memory of those years. Together, they interpret the fragments of the horrific past that haunt his dreams. I'm Calling the Police is a powerful exploration of Yalom's most vital themes -- memory, fear, love, and healing -- and a glimpse into the life of the man himself.

He's an amazing storyteller, a gorgeous writer, a great, generous, compassionate thinker, and - quite rightly - one of the world's most influential mental healthcare practitioners' Nicola Barker, Guardian Best Books of 2017 'Wonderful, compelling and as insightful about its subject and about the times he lived in as you could hope for. A fabulous read' Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others.

Lying On The Couch

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 384

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 denouement of surprising humanity and redemptive faith.

Hour of the Heart

A deeply moving and revealing chronicle, from one of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time, of working under wholly new circumstances, and the challenges and breakthroughs he's made as he takes on patients for one hour, one time only. Facing memory loss at age 93, as well as the fallout from a global pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin Yalom was forced to vastly reconsider the shape of his sessions with patients. But rather than throw in the towel in the face of change, Dr. Yalom considered the limitations imposed by these new realities head on, and revolutionized his practice. Dr. Yalom wondered if perhaps his own practice could focus deeply on the work that could be achieved in a one-hour, one-time meeting between patient and practitioner--employing an even more concerted use of his "here and now" approach. As he began these one-time sessions, the beloved veteran therapist found himself freed to reach ever deeper places with new patients on a shortened timeline, without the buffer of future appointments. Working within new constraints, Dr. Yalom learned to build greater intimacy much faster than in...

The Schopenhauer Cure

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 369

Julius Hertzfeld is a distinguished psychotherapist when a sudden confrontation with his own mortality forces him to re-examine his life and work. Has he really made an enduring difference to the lives of his patients? And what about those he's failed – what has happened to them? His attempt to make sense of the past places him on a collision course with former patient Philip Slate a handsome but arrogant and misanthropic sex addict whom he had treated, unsuccessfully, 23 years before. In a profound challenge to Julius's professional status, Philip claims to have cured himself by reading the works of philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Furthermore, he has become a philosophical counsellor, and asks Julius to act as his professional supervisor in order to obtain a license to practise. Reluctantly, Julius agrees, and they strike a Faustian bargain – one which threatens to undermine his career and the well-being of his patients, but also brings with it the potential for extraordinary personal change through a unique combination of psychotherapy and philosophy.

Staring at the Sun

Autor: Irvin D. Yalom

Número de Páginas: 306

Over the past quarter century Irvin Yalom has established himself as the world's leading group psychotherapist. In STARING AT THE SUN, he explores how the knowledge of our own mortality affects the unconscious mind of every human being. Tackling the effect of mankind's fear of death - both conscious and unconscious - on life and how we might live it, Yalom explains how we find ourselves in need of the comfort of therapy. At age 70 and facing his own fear of death, which he discusses in a special afterword, Dr Yalom tackles his toughest subject yet and finds it to be the root cause of patients' fears, stresses and depression. If therapists are to deliver 'the gift of therapy', they must confront the realities of life for themselves and their practice, as must we all.

Hailed by Jerome Frank as “the best book that exists on the subject, today and for the foreseeable future,” Irvin D. Yalom's The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has long been the standard text in its field. Indeed, in a survey reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry, it was cited as one of the ten most influential psychiatry publications of the past decade, and it was one of the very few judged to be of “seminal or lasting value.”In this completely revised and expanded fourth edition—updated to reflect the American Psychiatric Association's latest diagnostic manual, the DSM-IV—Dr. Yalom presents the most recent developments in the field, drawing on nearly a decade of new research as well as his own broad clinical wisdom and experience. This edition features new sections on combining individual and group therapy, the latest information about brief group therapy, and how to modify group work to deal with the newly emerging homogeneous focal groups (including survivor groups), as well as updated references and new clinical vignettes drawn from the author's recent practice.Throughout, Dr. Yalom has updated the style and content of the chapters, while...

Why was Saul tormented by three unopened letters from Stockholm? What made Thelma spend her whole life raking over a long-past love affair? How did Carlos' macho fantasies help him deal with terminal cancer? In Love's Executioner psychotherapist Irvin Yalom gives detailed and deeply affecting accounts of his work with these and seven other patients. Their case histories lay bare human anxieties - isolation, fear of death or freedom, a sense of the meaninglessness of life - that few of us escape completely, and show how we can all come to terms with such fears. Throughout, Dr Yalom remains refreshingly frank about his own errors and prejudices; his book provides a rare glimpse into the consulting room of a master therapist. 'The best therapists are at least partly poets. With this riveting and beautifully written book, Yalom has joined their ranks.' Erica Jong 'Dr Yalom offers a vaulable insight into the delicate process of therapy.'

El día que Nietzsche lloró

Número de Páginas: 291

Diciembre de 1882. La Joven y deslumbrante Lou Salomé concierta una misteriosa cita con Josef Breuer, célebre médico vienés, con el objeto de salvar la vida de un tal Friedrich Nietzsche, un atormentado filósofo alemán, casi desconocido pero de brillante porvenir, que manifiesta tendencias suicidas. Breuer, influido por las novedosas teorías de su joven protegido Sigmund Freud, acepta la peligrosa estrategia que Salomé le propone: psicoanalizar a Nietzsche sin que éste se dé cuenta, sin saber que por su parte es víctima de una intriga personal tramada por la mujer. El día que Nietzsche lloró es una irónica vuelta de tuerca en la historia de la filosofía y el psicoanálisis, y una divertida ocasión de repasar la biografía de figuras que, como Freud y Nietzsche, han configurado el rostro contemporáneo de la cultura occidental.
