Book Review of Loves Executioner by Irvin Yalom. Yalom literally wrote the book on group therapy and existential therapy. He is a brilliant and influential therapist that came to prominence in the 1980s. Loves Executioner is a book of short stories about therapy. The title comes from the paradox that love is a mystery. It is something that we cannot understand. To analyze and explore the roots of love is often to kill it, taking away its numinous quality.
