The world of psychotherapy is continuously evolving, with new trends, techniques, and technologies shaping the way therapists interact with their clients and measure their progress. Among these trends, the shift towards evidence-based practice has become particularly significant. This trend is not just a fad; it’s a profound transformation that promises to make therapy more effective, efficient, and transparent.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this! Dr. Irvin David Yalom was a NeuroSystemics Clinical Supervisor on our CARE Training program, and he's a big influence to what and how we train our students.
Admiro a este hombre sabio y talentoso, amo sus libros y aprecio su larga vida.... Leí su último libro Inseparables.... Me emocionó su sinceridad y sensibilidad para comunicar sobre última etapa junto a su amada esposa. Un abrazo desde Osorno, Sur de Chile y gracias por poder verlo y escucharlo!! 🥰🇨🇱
Dear Alexandre, thank you so much for this interesting interview and for the wonderful channel in general! This is by no means a critique - I was just curious why you did not ask Dr. Yalom the question you ask each of our colleagues at the end of every interview: "What advice do you wish you had received when you began your career as a therapist?"
Dear William James, first of all let me say how happy I am that such an illustrious figure - whose writings I love - enjoys this channel! Maybe we can do an after-life interview? :) As for your question, unfortunately Dr Yalom has an incredibly tight schedule, which resulted in a much shorter interview than usual and having to cut out some questions in last minute decisions. But I'm glad you noticed its absence!

You are a wonderful interviewer. Surprised Dr Yalom gave you almost 21 minutes- he's a popular fella. Dr Yalom is wise; he doesn't try to become an oracle of some type. And he's also a wonderful writer. However, I do feel he does over-reach regarding what he has always said about analysis. To dismiss the wisdom of that tradition out of some personal bias (or his own bad analysis experience) is, dare I say, unwise. Too bad he couldn't find a way to integrate the parts he found less objectionable.
Yalom shows contempt for patients in his books. The therapy industry loves holding up individuals as masters because they wrote a book and the weird culture of having leaders grows. If only pscyhotherapy was actually as safe and effective as theyd' have you believe. Psychotherapy outcomes are not always positive. Approximately 40-60% of patients do not reach a recovery criterion (Fisher and Durham, 1999; Gyani et al., 2013; HSCIS, 2018) and between 5 and 8.2% have a negative outcome, with worse mental health at the end of therapy than at intake (Barkham et al., 2001; Hansen et al., 2002). Estimates vary because of measurement and population differences. However, there is an important difference between an unsuccessful therapy and a harmful one. Clinical deterioration can be caused by many factors external to the therapy, and failure to benefit from therapy does not imply harm. Negative effects of therapy are common, may be short-lived, and emotionally distressing experience may be an intrinsic part of good therapy (Schermuly-Haupt et al., 2018). Rozental et al. (2019) found that 50.9% of 564 clients in low intensity CBT reported some degree of adverse experience during therapy on the Negative Effects Questionnaire (NEQ). In contrast, in a survey of 14,587 British patients receiving National Health Service psychotherapy, 5% reported “lasting bad effects” of therapy (Crawford et al., 2016). Although this is a much smaller proportion, it represents a large number of patients who report that therapy has been, to some extent, harmful.

🙂👌👌
Yalom gets much more praise than he actually deserves and talks about himself too much
He talks about himself because he talks about his memoirs!
