God, psychology and faith in dialogue

This book is an exploration into how psychology, especially psychotherapy, in dialogue with the spiritual practices of the Church, might contribute to the Christian’s walk with Christ. The author explores the question whether psychological insights and an increased awareness of the human mind help each of us to more effectively and authentically avail ourselves of such practices as Confession and Repentance. Holding to this question, this book offers examples of the human condition and illustrates how our defenses obstruct the human person from participating in a deeper relationship with God and others.
