Jean-Claude Larchet’s Mental Disorders and Spiritual Healing explores how the early Christian East understood psychological suffering long before modern psychiatry. Drawing on desert fathers and patristic texts, this slim 180-page volume bridges psychology, spirituality, and medicine for today’s reader.

Perfect for students of psychology, theology, or holistic healing, the book reframes anxiety, depression, and obsession through ancient prayerful disciplines. Larchet’s clear prose keeps technical jargon to a minimum, making the work equally accessible to young adults and seasoned clinicians curious about non-Western approaches.

This 2005 Sophia Perennis softcover is in very good shape: crisp, unmarked pages, tight binding, and only faint cover wear. A discreet spot on the top edge is noted, otherwise the copy is clean and smoke-free. No inscriptions, dog-ears, or other distractions—ready for immediate reading, referencing, or gifting.

Collectors and counselors seeking a concise, faith-friendly perspective on psychopathology will appreciate this gently used edition before it disappears from print.
