Description
*Momma and the Meaning of Life* is a remarkable and exceptional collection of psychological case studies, written in a beautiful style. Through these six psychoanalytic tales, Yalom introduces us to an array of unforgettable characters: Paula, who confronts and defies death; Magnolia, in whose capacious lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows; Irene, who seeks out and immerses herself in her own anger; and a traditional, protective mother who refuses to let go of her son—appearing in Yalom’s dreams and attempting to influence his thoughts. In these accounts of psychotherapy, Irvin Yalom reveals his extensive experience as a therapist, his profound knowledge of philosophy and literature, and his deep humanity. He draws the reader into his stories with the same skill he employs in treating his patients.
