Love's Executioner

I read this for a lot of reasons, but the one that jumps into mind at this moment is that I wanted to prepare myself for my therapy practicum and when I think of what therapy means to me and who I would want to be my teacher I think of Yalom. This book did not disappoint. I like how open Yalom is about his experience as a psychotherapist and how the therapeutic alliance is really the most important aspect of therapy. I'm sure that must be disheartening for those staunchly ingrained in their theoretical orientation in school. I don't know what else to say other than every psychology student should give this book a try.
