About this book

“Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy” by Irvin D. Yalom offers a captivating exploration of human psychology and our quest for happiness. The book comprises six engrossing case studies that delve into the complexities of our psychological makeup.

It provides a profound examination of therapeutic encounters, featuring intriguing and insightful stories drawn from Yalom’s own clinical practice. The characters include Paula, dubbed as Yalom’s “courtesan of death”; Myrna, whose habit of eavesdropping redefines patient confidentiality; Magnolia, who becomes a receptacle for Yalom’s own sorrows; and Momma, a domineering figure whose love and disapproval stifle her son. The book was first published on August 1, 1999.
