Tales of Unknowing by Ernesto Spinelli
Spinelli is one of the leading exponents existential therapy and one of its most brilliant practitioners. With Oliver Sacks-like skill he gives an account of some of the most unforgettable therapeutic encounters that he has experienced, explaining the core of his work and why the existential approach is key to examining the psychological condition.
His modesty inclines me to believe that he is a therapist who can be trusted' Anthony Storr 'To a certain extent every attempt to translate lived experience onto paper is doomed to failure, and it takes not only a skilled writer but also a skilful practitioner to elicit in the reader some of the sense of humanity, immediacy and reality of the original relationship while not retreating into sentimentality and narcissism ... Spinelli's book is difficult to put down and one is continually reminded with vivid cliarity of the personal and universal dilemas of the interlocking of normal and therapeutic life.' Martin Adams
