Narrated by: M.A. Suzanne Baars LPC

In this unique 10- talk audio set, Catholic Psychotherapist Suzanne Baars, M.A. presents the work of psychiatrist Dr. Conrad Baars, M.D. and Dr. Anna Terruwe, M.D. pioneers in a Catholic Christian Psychology based on the anthropology of St. Thomas Aquinas. Upon this foundation she discusses the integration of emotions with reason and will, and shows how the spiritual life can be supported by authentic willpower. Suzanne demonstrates how developing heart and mind fosters the capacity to receive as well as give love and thus give a greater capacity for both happiness and holiness.

A much needed perspective on how emotions are effectively integrated into life and spiritual maturity. The final chapters (43-45) on femininity are especially profound and beautiful.

Fundamentally important to understanding the whole

This is a powerful series of lectures that explores the balance of affective and effective aspects of our communal reality. I learned much, but, even more, I was restored to the God-given created harmony that exists in each of us which is only by discovering the preference of the other.
