69.99 €
In the book "The Spiritual Unconscious" by the famous theologian and patrologist Jean-Claude Larcher, the problems of Orthodox psychology and anthropology are considered. The author analyzes from the Orthodox position some aspects of the psychological theories and practices of Z. Freud and C.G. Jung, and then reveals the essence of the Sacrament of Confession and the Orthodox practice of revelation of thoughts, showing their effectiveness in the treatment of not only spiritual but also mental illness. The issues raised by the author are especially relevant in the context of the current discussions about the possibility of combining the findings of modern psychology with the traditional principles of Orthodox pastoral care. Jean-Claude Larcher was born in 1949 in the town of Badonvillers in northeastern France into a Catholic family and became an Orthodox Christian at the age of 23. The formation of J.-.K. Larcher as a theologian was influenced by his spiritual father Archimandrite Sergius (Shevich), as well as by his fellowship with the Monk Justin (Popovich), Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), the disciples of the elder Joseph Isikhast - the elders Ephrem of Katunak and Kharalampy, with the elders Ephrem of Philothea, Joseph of Vatoped and the Monk Paisios of Athos. Jean-Claude Larcher is the author of 31 books translated into 18 foreign languages, more than 150 articles and over 700 reviews. He is considered one of the leading contemporary Orthodox theologians and one of the rare authors able to combine in his works scholarly rigor and a lively perception of the inner life of the Church.
