Confession and Psychoanalysis is a much-needed tonic for our world-weary souls. In this profound book, Spiro Jabbour speaks to multiple traditions of thought and practice--Orthodox Christian, Islamic, and psychoanalytic. Magnificently introduced, translated, and annotated by Aaron Eldridge, Jabbour approaches postcolonial destitution and the political devastation of our uncanny present through mystical ethics. A must read for all interested in theology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and askesis.---Omnia El Shakry, author of The Arabic Freud: Psychoanalysis and Islam in Modern Egypt
