Existentialism
This article is one of the best explanations I have seen for Irvin Yalom’s existentialist theory. Really it was too good to not share. For those unfamiliar with existentialism a general definition I give to my patients is that creeping malaise present in not just society but all humans. For a brief and wonderfully understandable,…
