Spiritual Development and Contemporary Psychology
Spiritual Development and Contemporary Psychology
The first section presents articles on either St Teresa or St John of the Cross and contemporary psychology. They use the findings of such established twentieth-century psychologists as Rollo May, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers and Carl Jung and apply them to Teresa and John’s descriptions of spiritual development.
The second part contains just two articles. Blessed John Paul II’s summary of his thesis “The Question of Faith in St. John of the Cross” published in the Warsaw theological journal called Collectanea Theologica after he returned to his homeland from his studies in Rome. The second article examines the vein of Carmelite spirituality long held in esteem by the Order, namely, devotion to Mary the Queen Beauty of Carmel.

For me it was just okay. Not bad and not good, just okay. I leave it to each individual to form their own opinion.
