«Nietzsches tranen» is the historical fiction novel by Irvin D. Yalom published by Uitgeverij Balans in paperback (329 pages, in Dutch).
Vienna, late 19th century. At the dawn of psychotherapy, Dr. Josef Breuer attempts to treat Friedrich Nietzsche, devastated by Lou Salomé's rejection. The therapy turns into a dialectical duel: the philosopher dismantles his doctor's obsessions while an unexpected friendship emerges between them. Historical fiction that blends biography and reflection.

For readers of historical fiction with an interest in philosophy and the origins of psychotherapy.
