The essays in Augustine and Psychology, edited by Sandra Lee Dixon,
John Doody, and Kim Paffenroth, relate St. Augustine to the modern
theory and practice of psychology in several ways. The contributors
analyze Augustine's own examination of himself (and occasionally
others) to see to what extent he himself was a "doctor" or
practiced "therapy" in ways that we can recognize and appreciate;
they find connections between his theories of memory and mind, and
modern theories of the same; they consider the influences and
context in which he worked, and how those affected him and his
ideas of the mind and soul; and, lastly, the contributors subject
St. Augustine to the scrutiny of modern psychoanalysis (and
critique such scrutiny where appropriate).
