Reviews
Archbishop Chrysostomos brings to this study of Orthodox psychotherapy impressive credentials as a psychologist and Orthodox clergyman. Nevertheless, his book is happily free of the needless complexities and neollogisms that all too often discourage non-professional readers. He eschews as well the faciles simplifications that would distort and dilute the importance of his topic. Thus, the serious reader has here an accessible, if challenging, introductions to a subject of expanding interest and importance. As this expansion proceeds, I confidently expect thatA Guide to Orthodox Psychotherapy will deservedly become a classic in its field. -- Ernest Hargreaves Latham, Jr., Ph.D, US Department of State * Orthodox Tradition *
This new volume from the pen of Archbishop Chrysostomos is perhaps the most sophisticated study in the applied psychology of religious experience to appear in a generation. In the context of the contemporary psychobabble of publications on 'religion as therapy' and 'therapy as religion,' this work stands out for its intellectual breadth, religious depth, and commitment to rigorous empirical standards of turth. This is one of those rare achievements in which an author's gift to his religious tradition is as great as his gift to the scientific community. -- Professor Martin S. Jaffee, University of Washington, Dept. of Comparative Religion * Orthodox Tradition *
