The above book by Hans Urs Von Baltizar is very pertinent to Christotherapy and the Christian Faith and Practice. I've almost finished the book and the case is well made of how the Pope and the structure of the Church assists freedom in the Church in the face of sinful and egotistic humanity. Likewise, Christotherapy under it's Author and Founder Fr. Bernard Tyrrell investigates and structures Christian Therapy in such a way that freedom  of the individual is preserved and supported. This would be as against those religious or "Christian" therapies that arise out of limited understanding and learning and which tend to impose rather than to expose and heal.

Of course, beginning with the Modernist Age 100 years ago a majority psychologists and psychiatrists tried to detach therapy from Christianity and from morality, in fact, except for their egotistic bias which they promoted. This age has ended but will simply a egotistic religious bias simply replace it such as some fundamentalists and "evangelicals"  seem to offer? I believe that Christotherapy shows the way to integrate and develop healing and wholeness such that the freedom of the whole person is taken into consideration; as such, Christotherapy is an icon to observe!
