Challenging orthodoxies in psychotherapeutic thought

In the framework of the presentation, Professor Ernesto Spinelli is going to give a speech under the general title:

“Existential Psychotherapy: Living with Uncertainty”

A few words about the book:
In The Mirror and the Hammer, Ernesto Spinelli challenges psychotherapy by asking if it has retreated from its early promise of being a pivotal agent in our attempts to discover what it means to be human’, in exchange for its current role as a pacifier of personal and social unease. Throughout this text Spinelli explores the alternatives to psychotherapeutic orthodoxies on such vital issues as sexuality; the erosion of childhood; the self; the unconscious; the uncanny; creativity; and the dilemma of evil.

This is the second book by Ernesto Spinelli that is published in Greek.

The presentation of the book is going to be held at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation. The conference is going to be given in English and there will be a simultaneous interpretation in Greek. The event is open to the public.
