Confronting Death and Other Existential Issues in Psychotherapy

by Irvin Yalom
Here’s a chance to have a front row seat as Dr. Irvin Yalom talks to a packed room of therapists about a topic rarely discussed in our field: death. Sharing ideas from his most recent book, Staring at the Sun Yalom shows us how to confront death in order to invigorate and enhance our own lives and the lives of our patients.

Confronting Death and Other Existential Issues in Psychotherapy
Weaving together fascinating tales from his own clinical practice with wisdom from the great philosophers, Yalom illuminates the existential perspective and how it can be skillfully utilized to enliven the psychotherapeutic encounter. Starting with the premise that “therapy is a synergy of powerful ideas and a powerful, intimate connection” he shares those ideas that he has found most useful in his life and work, as well as ways to leverage the therapeutic relationship for maximum growth.
 
If you want to take your clinical work to a deeper level and help your patients come to terms with the ultimate concerns of human existence, there’s no better guide in navigating this terrain than Irvin Yalom.
"Wow! On this DVD, Irvin Yalom shows how amazing he still is, and has always been. Yalom discusses psychotherapy through existential spectacles, and invites you to realize how your clients, along with all of us, have to face issues about death. While I liked Yalom 30 years ago, this DVD made me feel so positive toward him today, that I watched this DVD three times. It felt as if I was talking to an old friend who spoke truth with insight, awareness, and factual knowledge....I loved this DVD and feel affirmed as well as encouraged because of it"
 - John D. Lentz, D. Min., Reviewed in The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter
