The First Encounter

In The First Encounter psychiatrist and narrator Acaneglo Calobrisi describes the role of the therapist and different therapeutic techniques, in an effort to correct misunderstandings about the mental health field. It's a somewhat cerebral yet humanizing take on the subject. And it's hard to argue with Calobrisi's final comments, that "truth and love lead to mature self-realization, a more wholesome appreciation of things around us, and mental health."

The album was released originally as part of the series Sound of Science Guide. The text is transcribed in the liner notes.
