The Formation of Affectivity

This book aims to respond to the need for explanation in the formation and care of souls by addressing the consonance and individuality in human nature, and the ways in which ordering in personality and psychology are not inhibiting, but potentially liberating and necessary for self-identity. Francisco Insa draws ffrom his medical and theological background, which includes both clinical and pastoral experience, to address all those responsible for the formation of others--including partents, teachers, priests, spiritual directors--and enables them to confront their roles as formators with greater insight and confidence. --Book cover.
