    Needed For A Long Time! Excellent!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2013*

I recently purchased this volume because I am involved in a ministry that helps individuals and families who claim to have demonic influence or to be under attack. Some of these people aren't, others of them genuinely are. What I have long needed is something like this work to help flesh out a cogent understanding of human psychology that is from my faith's point of view (Roman Catholicism) and does not depend upon what I consider to be the pathetic underpinnings of modern psychology. I can say without reservation that this work more than fills that need. It is excellent! Father Ripperger's three-volumes contained in this one massive book is an excellent resource for people like me who need a solidly "orthodox" and Traditional (big "T") response to the claims of modern psychology - especially with regards to accurate diagnosis in cases where psychological issues and demonic presence are confused (as they often are.)Fr. Ripperger, who holds a Ph.D., offers far more than insight and help into demonic influences however, and covers a huge range of issues with regards to the philosophy of mental health and illness (demonic influence as it pertains to psychology is one small section of the book - although a very helpful one to me). One of the more fascinating sections comes at the beginning and lays the philosophical foundation for an authentic Catholic psychology - it is his treatment (explanation) of who we are as human beings - a refreshing Catholic anthropology. We are not mere advanced animals, we are made imago Dei - in the image of God, and that should shape every aspect of psychology. Yet, psychology today denies this foundation and thus its treatment and solutions are not working - how can it? For example, sin, because it mars the relationship of God and grace in our life, will naturally have an effect on our mental health. Of course, psychiatry and addressing chemical and physiological issues are one thing, but treating a directee (patient) with an improper and reductive understanding of that human being that is in front of you is destined to result in less than optimal results. Father Ripperger brings a decidedly Thomistic approach to all of these (which appealed to me instantly), and replaces the woefully deficient psychology of Freud, Jung, and others with a cogent one. This work is very scholarly yet clear and understandable, is well sourced and footnoted with excellent explanations.If you are a Roman Catholic (or a Christian) who has thirsted for an authentic psychology and explanation of the human condition that fits solidly with Sacred Scripture and the teaching Magisterium of the Church, this is where you need to begin. I recommend it wholeheartedly and refer to it regularly. Thank you Father Ripperger.

This is a great book introduction to psychology from a Catholic viewpoint. This is a must read for every single Catholic, and every single Christian and every person.

    GET IT NERD.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2022*

Compared to other intro to mental health books, it is a night and day difference. This book is very engaging, clear, powerful and has footnotes which help further understanding. Father Ripperger is reminding us what priest can accomplish. Get it.
