Dr. Dmitri Avdeev Depression as Passion and Malady Translated from Russian by Adrian Tanasescu-Vlas The true cause for depressive disorders usually resides in man's sins. The Holy Fathers believed that pride is at the base of all spiritual sufferings. Many unfulfilled dreams and the conflict between desire and reality always give birth in the heart to the feeling of frustration, sadness, grief and suffering. That’s why in order to get rid of neurotic depression man should strive himself to acquire meekness. Format: 10 x 15 cm, 128 p. ISBN: 973-7623-15-0 “Orthodox Psychotherapy” «« back
