It is a revealing book from this point of view. Inspired by his work, the book includes stories that have a life history in the foreground. It is surprising both the character gallery described by Yalom, but also how the psychiatrist approaches each case separately. If we did not know that Irvin Yalom is one of the most appreciated specialists in the field, we may find it lack of professionalism to hear him acknowledging that he has a phobia towards obese people, for example. Maybe we would expect a doctor with his reputation not to have such a subjective attitude. But Yalom recognizes that he has prejudices that he must overcome, personal histories that still influence his behavior, and when he treats a patient he learns with him and deepens the inexhaustible domain that is the soul of man.
