Abstract
This article focuses on research from the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa, examining Marilyn Yalom’s personal reflections on dying through a psychobiographical approach grounded in existential psychology. The study analyzes her diarized experiences of living with a terminal illness using Irving Yalom’s existential psychotherapy framework, highlighting themes such as detachment from loved ones, physician-assisted suicide as autonomy, and the re-emergence of isolation and meaninglessness at the end of life. The findings contribute to understanding end-of-life concerns within the four existential dimensions and offer practice recommendations aimed at fostering meaningful living until death. Further details are available through the referenced journal article and contact with the university’s psychology department. [Extracted from the article]
