Orthodox Psychotherapy: the Science of the Fathers

Orthodox Psychotherapy: the Science of the FathersMetropolitan of Nafpaktos Hierotheos

This classic book Orthodox Psychotherapy sets out the teaching of the

holy Fathers of the Church and Holy Scripture on curing the soul.

After first defining the soul, nous and heart, the author His Eminence

the Metropolitan Hierotheos proceeds to consider the various disorders

affecting these and how they can be cured. The central subject of

thoughts, which lie at the root of most problems, is dealt with in

detail. After being carefully defined, the passions are then considered

one by one as illnesses that need to be cured.

The author’s

assertions are supported throughout by numerous references to Holy

Scripture and the Fathers. In every aspect of curing the soul the one

best suited to help is the Orthodox spiritual father.

Since the

time of its publication until now, Orthodox Psychotherapy has provoked

unparalleled interest and even controversy. Most important of all, it

has helped countless people. First published in English in 1994, a

thoroughly revised English edition was issued in 2012. (From the
