73/56-Δεν διάβαζα ποτέ μου βιβλία αυτοβελτίωσης. Δε μπορούσα να τα κατανοήσω ποτέ . Αυτό μου φάνηκε πιο απλό . Πόσο μπορεί και με πόσους τρόπους να σε διαλύσει ο θάνατος. Και πόση διαύγεια και ικανότητες έχει ένας ψυχίατρος να εκμαιεύσει αυτά που έχεις μέσα σου . Με φόβισαν όλα αυτά που βγήκαν στην επιφάνεια. Φαντάζομαι πόσο θα τρόμαξαν αυτοί οι άνθρωποι προτού ανακουφιστούν . ( )

Në këtë libër, rrëfehen historitë e dhjetë pacientëve që iu drejtuan terapisë, gjatë së cilës u përleshën me dhimbjen e ekzistencës. Kjo nuk ishte arsyeja për të cilën ata iu drejtuan për ndihmë psikoterapisë; përkundrazi, që të dhjetë ata ishin duke vuajtur nga probleme të zakonshme të jetës së përditshme: vetmi, vetëpërçmim, impotencë, migrenë, kompulsion seksual, mbipeshë, hipertension, zi, obsesion konsumues dashurie, ndryshime humori, depresion. Megjithatë, në njëfarë mënyre (dhe mënyra shpaloset ndryshe në çdo histori), terapia zbulonte rrënjët e thella të këtyre problemeve të jetës së përditshme, që shtriheshin poshtë, në themelin e ekzistencës.

Të qenit i veçantë është besimi që njeriu nuk është i dobët, dhe është i paprekshëm - përtej ligjeve të zakonshme të biologjisë humane dhe fatit njerëzor. Në një pikë të caktuar në jetë, secili prej nesh do të përballet me një lloj krize: mund të jetë një sëmundje serioze, një dështim i karrierës ose një divorc; mund të jetë një ngjarje aq e thjeshtë sa edhe vjedhja e një kulete, që papritmas zbulon hapur se sa i zakonshëm është njeriu dhe sfidon hamendjen e thjeshtë që jeta do të jetë gjithnjë një spirale e përjetshme që ngjitet lart.

Ashtu si Frojdi, Yalom-i është një shkrimtar i urtë, me stil elegant. Materiali psikoterapik që është njëherësh tërheqës, shterues fuqish dhe plot të papritura, rrëfehet me kursim dhe, ç’është më befasuesja, me humor.

Als die über siebzigjährige Thelma ihrem Therapeuten erzählt, daß sie heillos verliebt sei, glaubt diese zunächst an eine harmlose Marotte.
Dann bemerkt er, daß die Liebe Thelmas zu ihrem früheren Therapeuten extrem obsessiv ist...

Spannend wie Kriminalgeschichten lesen sich die zehn hier versammelten Fallstudien aus der Psychiatrie.

Love's Executioner offers a depth of insight into the therapeutic process that is edifying and illuminating. However, as a book of literature Yalom's reconstructed dialogue is often stilted and his exposition is flagrant. I suppose I would have enjoyed the book a more if, perhaps, this was coauthored or the voice wasn't so pompous. ( )
