Inspired by the scenes of a recent documentary, recently broadcast on "Rai" channel, in memory of Franco Battiato, the Author offers his interpretation of some of the most famous musical pieces of the Sicilian songwriter, representing a sort of symbolic itinerary, full of hints for the training and the personal growth of psychotherapists. More specifically, he examines some of the key themes in Battiato’s poetics: self-awareness - which goes beyond automatic behavior -, man’s relationship with spirituality, and the relevance of the central notions of eastern philosophies, such as the concept of death and rebirth.
