The gentle god snake is the creative revelation of the author. A book in which Harris Kataki innovatively transforms her unique synthetic systemic therapeutic approach into a novel. Readers, just like those being treated, discover that her therapeutic approach is indeed modern, perfectly suited to the challenges and fluidity of today's life where people face the questions “who am I, where am I going, and why.” Like the gentle snake, they realize in vivo that they can shed their skin and rejuvenate their lives.

“I invite you to read this book and follow Ariadne, the protagonist, Erato, her therapist, as well as the other members of the groups as they unfold intense descriptions of their personal lives, with which the reader inevitably identifies. Discover for yourself the richness of this therapeutic approach and the changes experienced by its participants, a multifaceted, deep, and intense wealth that cannot certainly be conveyed in this brief comment…” Harlene Anderson, Ph.D., Houston Galveston Institute, USA

“In her long journey as a systemic therapist, her very method leads the author to the paths of Greek thought and the rituals of Greek society, which, now incorporated into the therapeutic process, offer the patient the solutions and 'the purification of sufferings.' Through the magic of writing, the Greek reader will find themselves wandering along with her in their own story, recognizing within it themselves and their generation.” Lily Stilianoudi, Lawyer-Anthropologist, Director of Research Center
