AlbakiReads Editorial

A three-volume Thomistic approach to psychology

This volume combines all three parts of Chad Ripperger’s series on mental health through a Thomistic and Catholic framework. It begins with philosophical psychology: how the discipline is defined, the principles used to discuss mental health and illness, and their causes as understood through St. Thomas Aquinas. The next section considers the relationship between psychology and Catholic theology, including sin, prayer, the sacraments, and demonic influences. The final volume turns to a wide range of topics and applications, from dreams, hypnotism, and personality to addiction, education, diagnosis, and counseling. Together, the sections connect philosophical foundations, spiritual questions, and practical subjects within one explicitly religious perspective.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in Thomistic or Catholic approaches to psychology.
  • Readers seeking a broad survey that connects psychological concepts with theology and spiritual life.
  • Those interested in practical topics such as personality, addiction, education, diagnosis, and counseling within this framework.
