Chronicles of Healing. Psychotherapeutic Stories

"Chronicles of Healing" – an unusual book that Irvin D. Yalom wrote not alone, but in collaboration. Ginny Elkin – is the pseudonym of a young writer who was diagnosed with "schizophrenia". After unsuccessful group therapy sessions, she begins an individual treatment course under the guidance of Dr. Yalom. "Chronicles of Healing" – are the diaries of the patient and the psychotherapist, in which they describe their thoughts and feelings in detail. In the book, Yalom showcases his magnificent talent as a storyteller: the reader discovers Ginny's personality, recognizes themselves in her experiences, receives support from the doctor, gets angry and laughs along with the characters, as if they themselves are sitting opposite the psychotherapist and having their own candid conversation.
