New from Divine Ascent Press!Do You Know Yourself? Psychological Problems and the Spiritual LifeAuthor: Archimandrite Symeon Kragiopoulos and Translated by Monk Cosmas Why do so many of us good Christians find our spiritual progress blocked? What can we do about the unconscious neurotic tendencies that warp our relations with others? How can we let go of the idealized image we have of ourselves? Drawing on the classic work Our Inner Conflicts by psychiatrist Karen Horney, Archimandrite Symeon shows how we are led to unhealthy attachments, slavish dependency, or a position of compliance -- which can even affect our relationship with God. He then explains how today's Christians can use biblical teachings and the wisdom of the Eastern Orthodox Church fathers to combat these characteristically modern problems.
