Love's Executioner

"Love's Executioner" is one of the best-known works of psychiatrist and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom. This book is not a classic novel, but a collection of real stories from his therapeutic practice.

In this book, Yalom tells 10 different patient cases, revealing their inner worlds: fears, insecurities, emotional dependencies and the way love can become an "executioner" – a force that hurts you, keeps you bound and stops you living freely.

In a very simple and human style, the author takes us into the process of therapy, showing not only the patients but also himself as a therapist – with his dilemmas, mistakes and personal reflections.
