Is helping people really therapy's main mission? Is therapy's current role merely to pacify personal and social unease? Ernesto Spinelli explores how psychotherapy can recover its early promise as a pivotal agent in our attempts to discover what it means to be human.
`I found this book a joy to read. Each chapter sets out the orthodoxy in question then proceeds to explain lucidly the author′s difficulties with this orthodoxy and to suggest an alternative way of looking at the issues′ - Self and Society



Psychotherapy′s influence seems all pervasive today. But to what end? Is helping people really therapy′s main mission? This provocative book explores the alternatives to psychotherapeutic orthodoxies on such vital issues as sexuality; the self; the unconscious; creativity; and the dilemma of evil. Erensto Spinelli challenges psychotherapy, 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.
