    Introduction to the Science of Mental Health-Fr. C. Ripperger

    Posted by Casey on Jan 25th 2023

    First, I forgot to mention in my other reviews that the service with traditionalcatholicstore.com is first rate! You get your order as fast as is possible, and it's protected from the elements very well. I bought this rather large(can't tell from pic)book as a companion piece to Dominion, by the same author. See my review on that, and while I haven't read this yet; it seems as comprehensive and full of information as the aforementioned. It's psychology from a Thomistic point of view, so in other words, it doesn't discount the Author of Life and your mind. I look forward to reading it!
