| Summary: | The important interaction of theology and psychotherapy in the mid-20th century is reviewed, with particular attention given to the formative role of personalist philosophy and its practical outcomes.

These involve recognizing the therapeutic and liturgical significance of traditional theological themes such as self-love, providence and vocation. |
