In this episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Dn. Basil Balke to discuss the field of modern psychology in light of approaches to the psychological sciences prior to the end of the nineteenth century.
Father Deacon Basil is a married deacon of the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church and the Russian Greek Catholic Church, and ministers in Denver Colorado. He holds a Masters of Theology from the University of Balamand, a Masters in Clinical Counseling from Regis University and the St. Stephen’s Diploma in Eastern Theology. He currently holds licensure as a Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado and is head of Mount Tabor Counseling, a Christian counseling practice with locations in Colorado and Texas. His particular interest is in the psycho-spirituality of the Christian Desert Fathers, with a particular focus on St. Evagirus Ponticus and St. John Cassian. He is also a Lecturer in Pastoral Counseling at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary, and a regular columnist to Our Sunday Visitor’s Deacon Digest where he writes on issues pertaining to the Eastern Catholic Diaconate.
