Psychotherapy and the Spiritual Quest

More about the book

This study attempts to identify the religious roots of psychotherapy and surveys the views of spirituality found in a broad range of psychologies such as Jung, Kierkegaard and May. The author reviews the history and understanding of spirituality found in a variety of Christian traditions from the Desert Fathers to Evangelical Spirituality. He attempts therefore to present a model of personality as a psychospiritual unity.
