5 essential books to give for the holidays
It sometimes happens that giving a book is a way of giving pleasure twice. Once to the person to whom you are giving it, a second time to yourself, because you love a work so much that you take pleasure in doing it to read, to transmit it The writer and poet Tahar Ben Jelloun (author of The Sand Child) goes further. For him, “A book is the birth of a journey, the tracing of an itinerary”.
Among the works we have selected is a book that takes us on a journey. And, more intimately, which takes us to discover the emerging bond between a father and his son. Another invites us on an introspective journey, to (re)connect with his “ikigai”. You will then find a book to observe behind the scenes of therapy and another to explore the paths to happiness. Five books in total, which can be interesting gift ideas for your loved ones.
Going behind the scenes of a psychiatry consultation
1 in 3 French people consult a psychologist, but what happens within the office? This book will delight the curiosity of those who dream of going behind the scenes of a session. In Welcome to therapypsychoanalyst Hélène Vecchiali opens the doors to the consultation room that she shares with her patients. While maintaining their anonymity, she tenderly paints a portrait of those who had the most impact on her.
Each case is associated with an analysis of the analysis by the therapist herself, as well as a film. A way to add a welcome touch of pop culture. Control, silence, dissociation… stories as strong as they are universal that can resonate in each of us.
