The American psychotherapist Irvin Yalom is well known to Russian readers: he is the author of both serious scientific books (“Existential Psychotherapy”, Eksmo, 2004), and fascinating “psychotherapeutic” fiction (“Treatment for Love”, “Schopenhauer as a Medicine”, Eksmo, 2006). Yalom called The Gift of Psychotherapy «an open letter to a new generation of psychiatrists and their patients.» And this is really an invaluable description of the laws of the psychotherapeutic process, which makes the book interesting for those who need to understand what psychotherapy is, how it works and what principles it is based on.
