Pandemic, crises, war, personal troubles – many people feel uncertain and powerless. In times of emotional crises, people often turn to what they know: helpful values, culture and religious practices. But can ancient stories provide comfort and orientation without leading us into the trap of escapism or naïveté? How can spiritual inspiration be combined with modern psychotherapy?
Paraskevi Mavrogiorgou-Juckel and Georg Juckel are two doctors with many years of experience in psychiatry and psychotherapy, one is a Christian and one an agnostic. They explore the resilient power of biblical stories for our modern life in their book Wie die Seele wieder Frieden findet. Warum die alten Geschichten der Bibel uns heute Halt geben [“How the Soul Finds Peace Again: Why the Old Stories from the Bible Give Us Strength Today”]. And they conclude: The Bible actually functions much like a therapy session. Host: Joachim Frank
