Ebook: Dynamis of Healing: Patristic Theology and the Psyche

This work is an exploration of possible experiential traces of Orthodox Christian ontology & soteriology in the healing of the psyche as known & experienced through depth psychology. It explores a possible relationship between theology & depth psychology as mediated through a lens of the sacramentality of creation. Using a variety of patristic soteriological images, all of which converge around the central theme of 'that which is not assumed is not healed, ' it then goes on to offer a possible psychological exegesis of that key patristic maxim, seeking to understand how this might be experienced psychologically. This is done through the lens of the assumption of being qua being as explored through insights into the natural healing impetus of the psyche qua psyche.
