Health and Medicine in the Eastern Orthodox Tradition
Harakas, S. S. (1990) Health and medicine in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Minneapolis, MN: Light and Life Publishing Co.
--- Includes chapters on the history and theology of healing ministries in the church and helped me consider a personal counseling philosophy more consistent with Orthodox teaching.
Orthodox Psychotherapy
Vlachos, H. S (Metropolitian Hierotheos). (2000) Orthodox psychotherapy: The science of the Fathers (E. Williams, Trans.). Levadia, Greece: Birth of the Theotokos Monestary. (Third ed. used for translation 1997)
--- An intricate explanation of Orthodox theology as a science of healing that is extremely useful in understanding Orthodox teaching about the soul and psyche of humanity.
The Beautiful Risk
Olthuis, James H.. (2001) The beautiful risk: A new psychology of loving and being loved. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
--- My favorite book on how to do psychotherapy, written by a Canadian Protestant Christian counselor. He emphasizes that therapeutic healing comes from being genuinely and lovingly with another.
