Mental Help Net (www.mentalhelp.net) presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (wisecounsel.mentalhelp.net), hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. "Irvin Yalom, MD on Death Anxiety", posted February 15, 2008. Dr. Van Nuys interviews Dr. Irvin Yalom, a psychiatrist and Stanford professor about his new book "Staring At The Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death". This book follows up on a theme previously explored in Yalom's earlier classic work \"Existential Psychotherapy\", namely that death anxiety permeates life and is a cause of many psychological symptoms and conditions, and that confronting one's own personal death can result in symptom reduction and a generally richer and more fulfilling life.
