Soul and Psyche as a Surprise; Psychoanalysis and Orthodox Theology in Dialogue

Edited by:  Evdoxia Delli and Vasileios Thermos

This volume signifies the first opportunity of Orthodox theologians to collectively elaborate on Psychoanalysis in addressing an English-speaking audience. The majority of the chapters (nine of eleven) are the revised presentations of a one-day workshop organized by the National Research Foundation of Greece on December 1, 2018. While the encounter between Psychoanalysis and Christianity had already been fruitful in Catholic and Protestant contexts, the endeavor to bring Orthodox Theology closer with psycho-analytic theory is in practice more difficult than it looks. This volume will hopefully reach a variety of readers, who may represent the entire range between psychological and theological sciences.
