Why? Because post-Freudian psychology is based on a mistaken idea that moral laws lead to neurosis. It arguesthat we must be freed from morality in order to become psychologically whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this powerful and assuring book, Fr. Brian Mullady examines the nature of a healthy Christian emotional life, and ultimately provides the Catholic answer to the problematic theories of Sigmund Freud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in the image and likeness of God, man is created for communion with the Holy Trinity - to love and be loved. Our immoral and destructive culture, devoid of authentic love, promulgates utilitarian views that in turn give way to various types of emotional illness and unrestrained passions. As you discover how sin damages the moral and emotional life of man, youï 1\/2ï 1\/2ï 1\/2ll come to see that the only source of true happiness is through the acquisition of virtue, as mankind is healed through grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, Fr. Mullady clarifies the purpose of prayer and the stages of spiritual growth. He then shows how the Holy Spirit can create authentic communion between your intellect, will, and passions, and how through openness to sanctifying gifts, you can be restored to the original integrity of a child of God. The turmoil within you will only be calmed when your mind and body are no longer at war with your soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, you will also learn to advance from spiritual infancy to maturity, as Fr. Mullady shares: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to overcome emotions of fear or unrestrained energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe power of hidden acts of patience and virtue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow God uses our sufferings to draw us closer to Him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow it is through struggle that we become holy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFr.
