Description
Every Day Gets a Little Closer is a unique and insightful exploration of the therapeutic relationship between a psychiatrist and his patient. Written in a dual format, with alternating reflections from both the doctor and his patient, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of the human psyche.
Based on the sessions of a patient who was struggling with mental health issues, this book presents a candid and thought-provoking account of the therapeutic process. The patient, a talented writer, worked with Dr. Irvin Yalom at Stanford University, and together they kept a joint journal of their sessions. The result is a deeply personal and revealing work that sheds light on the challenges and rewards of psychotherapy.
With its innovative format and honest portrayal of the therapeutic relationship, Every Day Gets a Little Closer is a valuable contribution to the field of psychology and psychiatry. This paperback edition makes the book accessible to a wider audience, offering a unique perspective on the human experience.
