One of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time offers a deeply moving chronicle of the challenges and breakthroughs that come from a wholly new practice of onetimeonly therapy sessions.Facing memory loss at age ninetythree as well as the fallout from a global pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin D. Yalom was forced to revolutionise his practice. Rather than rail against these changes, Dr Yalom turned his focus to what might be achieved between patient and practitioner in just a onehour, onetimeonly meeting.In Hour of the Heart, Yalom recounts some of these intense, lifechanging sessions, exploring an array of human predicaments and his own latecareer development as a therapist. In recounting these consultations, he shows how a therapists willingness to be open helps patients let down their own guards, leading to a deeper and more immediate connection one necessary to achieving profound realisations in just sixty minutes.Written in collaboration with his son, Hour of the Heart shows us how to relate to each other, with more honesty and vulnerability. That hour of connection helped to sustain both patient and therapist, and enriched Yaloms vision of what psychotherapy can do.
