'...Carotenuto examines the unconscious motivations at play in seduction in infancy, in the couple relationship, and in the analytical relationship. Seduction includes a secret invitation to embrace transformation, an openness to change despite risks and suffering. The many facets of seduction are illuminated through a lively discussion of Satan, figures from Greek mythology, star-crossed lovers such as Paolo and Francesca, and the master of seduction, Don Juan....This book fosters a clear understanding of the affective roots of seduction that can lead to transformation and the discovery of a new identity.'
