Written as eighty-five frank and personal tips for new therapists, this book reveals the inner workings of existential psychotherapy with unusual transparency — making it equally valuable for any man who has ever been in therapy or is considering it. Yalom's central convictions — that the therapeutic relationship itself is the healing agent, that therapists must be fully present as human beings rather than blank screens, and that existential questions always lurk beneath the presenting problem — are stated with clarity and conviction. For men approaching therapy with skepticism or uncertainty, this book demystifies and humanizes the process. Yalom writes with the warmth and honesty of a master who has nothing to prove and everything to share.
