  As I am studying counselling and becoming involved in counselling/support work, I found this book interesting and useful, and I took some notes, as I read through it.

  A useful read if you are starting in counselling, quite interesting even if you are not. A warning, chapter one - the title chapter - isn't the best story and some of the others are surprisingly quite short.

  Not exactly psychotherapy tales, as claimed in the back cover, but rather a collection of reports about 10 successfully treated cases. A common point of all cases is a struggle against fear of aging and death. Each report is written with empathy and wit. That makes the book pleasant to read and full of hints for a first understanding of some basic concept in psychology.
