WHAT THERAPISTS ARE SAYING…
“The Gift of Therapy: a Conversation with Irvin Yalom should be on all university library shelves.”

— Reviewed by Tony Verner in Psychotherapy in Australia
“A powerful exposition of Yalom’s insights into existential therapy; he shares gifts gleaned from many years at the forefront of doing and teaching therapy. It was exceptionally engaging, offered penetrating insights, as well as a live glimpse inside the thoughts and feelings of a preeminent thinker, and profound contributor to the field of psychotherapy. This video was outstanding to present to class where one was able to pause and invite discussion and reflection.”

— Tom Mabee, Ph.D. Adjunct Graduate Psychology Faculty Nova Southeastern University, Florida
“The Gift of Therapy DVD put words into action. No matter how much you enjoy reading a favorite author’s works there is no greater way to see their true self then to watch them in person. Nothing can compare to seeing the sincerity and genuineness come alive. I was delighted to see that all the profound and enticing information I read over the last few years turned out to be a true portrait of who he is. To that end, for me the DVD was the ‘icing on the cake’ and that was a gift in itself!”
