| Sumario: | The author reports on exploratory research involving an exercise in bringing together two practices, one spiritual and one therapeutic: Eastern Christian spirituality and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The theoretical view of illness and health in Eastern Christian spirituality is discussed in the framework of a clinical perspective. Applying the general clinical perspective of cognitive-behavioral therapy to Eastern Christian spirituality yields its implicit clinical view of spiritual illnesses, which are also called "passions." The author discusses some implications of the psychospiritual approach, beginning with a comparison between the two practices and a discussion of the difficulties of such an interdisciplinary approach. In the second part of the study, dedicated to Evagrius Pontus's approach and the ABCDE model of emotional disturbance, the author argues that both practices are interested in the person's "well-being," be it psychological or spiritual, and elaborates on techniques and methods to recover mental and spiritual "health." |
