How to recognize-and eliminate-common obstacles to your normal spiritual development. Your advisor? The pioneering Catholic psychologist who proved the importance of religion. And not just any religion. Dr. Rudolf Allers, a younger contemporary of Freud, argued that only the Catholic view of man could explain abnormalities and produce positive personality changes. He alone linked moral and spiritual growth to mental health. Of all Dr. Allers' works, this was both his most ambitious and his most practical: an in-depth explanation of how character is shaped in childhood and afterward-and a helpful guide to rooting out character defects, curing (and preventing) developmental problems, strengthening virtues, and recognizing dormant potential, in both children and adults.
