"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."

"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!"
