Reader reviews for The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.32 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

4.32 / 5 (27893 total reviews)

Readers widely praise Irvin Yalom’s concise, plainspoken guide for centering the therapeutic relationship, empathy, and here?and?now work. Many found it validating and practical for students and clinicians alike, with memorable case vignettes and a humane candor about self?disclosure and limits; its short chapters make it easy to reread. Critics argue parts feel dated, preachy, or ethically risky in their relaxed stance on boundaries and dream interpretation, and some say the private?practice examples don’t translate to front?line settings. Overall, it’s viewed as influential and inspiring, if not universally applicable.
