Tales from the Valley of Death

Reflections from psychotherapy on the fear of death

Beschreibung

Explore and learn from the complex lives of ten individuals who have been crippled by death-related fears and related existential issues as revealed by candid interviews with their psychotherapist. These intimate personal tales reveal fears ranging from sudden death by fire to assassins in the shadows, from anaphylactic shock to a multitude of diseases, from being attacked by dinosaurs lurking in kitchen cupboards to being pushed off cliffs and in front of trains. Discover how the dread of death and fear of impermanence can strike at the heart of the human experience, and the power of effective therapy to improve the lives of others.
