<p><strong>Bestselling author of <em>Love's Executioner </em>and<em> The Gift of Therapy, </em><em> </em>psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom probes further into the mysteries of the therapeutic encounter in this entertaining and thoughtful collection.</strong></p><p>In six enthralling stories drawn from his own clinical experience, Irvin D. Yalom once again proves himself an intrepid explorer of the human psyche as he guides his patients--and himself--toward transformation. With eloquent detail and sharp-eyed observation Yalom introduces us to a memorable cast of characters. Drifting through his dreams and trampling through his thoughts are Paula, Yalom's "courtesan of death"; Myrna, whose eavesdropping gives new meaning to patient confidentiality; Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows, even as he strives to ease hers; and Momma--ill-tempered, overpowering, and suffocating her son with both love and disapproval. </p><p>A richly rewarding, almost illicit glimpse into the therapist's heart and mind, <em>Momma and the Meaning of Life </em>illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship.</p>
