I haven't gotten to the bit about overweight clients yet. I'm sorry to hear he's not very empathic about that.

I think that, whether or not you like his style or like him or whatever, there are lots of therapy examples and that's something I really like. I loved all the group therapy examples in his textbook. I think I'd actually like to read transcripts so maybe I'm looking to be a fly on the wall. And now I'll go off-topic too and say that there are some interesting transcripts at http://www.earley.org/GroupTherapy/g...rapy_frame.htm I'm fascinated by group therapy (as well as individual).

So I guess I love books with examples and Yalom's books seem to have a lot. I'll also check out some of the other books on this thread. Thanks to everyone for contributing!
