This book delves deeply into the realm of psychoanalysis, engaging with a spiritual tradition that has yet to receive comprehensive attention within the field of psychoanalytic literature. It presents a distinctive approach to engaging with a faith system that not only highlights but also extends analytic thinking. This book is particularly valuable for individuals in the process of formation within the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition, as it offers psychoanalytic insights that can help clarify and understand complex aspects of faith that may sometimes appear enigmatic or challenging.

The authors of this book aspire to inspire the reader to adopt the reflective and contemplative stance of Orthodoxy, as well as to cultivate a listening ear of analysis. By exploring the human subject within the context of these two traditions, the authors seek to foster a deeper understanding of the human experience and the complexities of the mind.

This book holds significant relevance and importance for those pursuing training in psychoanalysis, as well as for those interested in the intersection between psychoanalysis and religion. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that can enrich the understanding and practice of both disciplines.
