Irvin D Yalom Literary Novels Editorial Review
"When Nietzsche Wept" is a captivating novel that sets the record straight about the origins of psychotherapy in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the imagined relationship between Josef Breuer, a prominent doctor in Vienna and Friedrich Nietzsche, the renowned philosopher. Breuer is engaged by Lou Salome to take on Nietzsche's case, who is suffering from severe migraines. Through their interactions, Breuer uses the "talking cure" to address his own personal issues. The novel effectively explores the close connection between psychotherapy and philosophy, portraying two thinkers who have significantly influenced the 20th century. Overall, an engrossing novel that combines both history and existential angst to delight readers.
