Every Day Gets A Little Closer: A Twice-told Therapy by Irvin D. Yalom (Jan 2 1991)

This book, along with Finding A Guy Like Gilbert kinda changed my life as a recovering bulimic and as someone who consistently chose the wrong men. I never believed that you could overcome an eating disorder completely. Now, I know it can be done. I also felt I'd never be wise enough to know a good man when I saw one. Again, another misconception put to bed. Yahoo and Winters are a terrific writing duo!

I've read this twice - I find the writing interesting, and the overall message (I'm a therapist) useful that irrespective of what I think is going on in therapy, the client may have a completely different idea. I have ethical issues with the whole concept, which Yalom seeks to address, without fully managing to in a convincing way.I would recommend this to any therapist however as a lesson in the limitations and fruitlessness of therapy, and the limited nature of our perception given the subjective view the client will hold.

I love Irvin Yalom's books so it was inevitable I was going to enjoy this. Those who have read his later work will be able to see that his writing has improved over time - and this book has interest because it talks about his feelings about his developing skill as a writer.At times I found the story became a bit frustrating and boring but that could be seen as reflective of what was happening for the (real) characters.Anyway, it's an interesting read and anyone who has been in the therapist or client role will relate to many of the feelings and topics discussed.,

What a compelling and fabulously wonderful journey and read. Both Dr Yalom and 'Ginny Elkin' contribute to this book. To be on the journey of both psychologist and client within the pages of this book has been complex and a continual revealing of the humanmind; both parties contributing further thoughts to open more platforms of feelings to consider. This is one book I really dont want to finish as we are picturing in the words the inner worlds of both Ginny and Irvine. Amazing read.

I've not read this book yet but look forward to doing so. I find Yalom a very easy writer to read with excellent examples for therapists. As for the service delivery, everything was great. The notice of despatch came many days before the book actually arrived but the customer service I received from the seller was excellent ~ prompt, courteous reply. Will update once I've read!

An interesting read but struggled with the format of therapists debrief notes followed by client. Yalom is an excellent story teller and I have read all his other books. Worth a read, but am not as taken with this one

Inreally enjoyed the different perspectives. Getting the client viewpoint and it being so markedly different to what the practitioner took from sessions. An insightful read.

Quick to recieve the book once order was placed. Content dated, and reviews but relevant to era of evolving therapies
