Conceptii psihologice la Parintii Bisericii
Psychological Concepts to the Church Fathers

Summary/Abstract: From studying the various writings of the patristic period we convince ourselves that many Fathers dealt with psychological themes, sometimes systematically and sometimes occasionally. Christian culture people were preoccupied by man, „the royal creature of creation“ as a psychosomatic and spiritual being in all periods of his life. For this reason too the psychology they created does not only refer to the growing man, but the man of every age. The person who studies the Christians psycho-pedagogues’ works is always impressed by their systematic concern on knowledge and understanding both the inner depth of the human soul and the external behavior of man. Their goal was to find the way they could help the man understand himself and succeed in that self-knowledge. That would enable him to program and follow the Christian approach in his life that would lead him to his spiritual perfection, which has the likeness to God as desirable and wonderful end.
