June 3, at 1pm CST | By popular demand, we are excited to have Dr. Paul C. Vitz join us for part 2 of The Amazing Contributions of Paul C. Vitz to Christian Psychology!
Paul C. Vitz, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology at New York University, one of the most original contributors to Christian psychology over the past 40 years, is the author of a number of seminal Christian psychology books, including Psychology as Religion: The Cult of Self-Worship, a devastating critique of humanistic psychology, and Sigmund Freud’s Christian Unconscious, a Christian psychoanalysis of Freud that turned his avowed explanation for religion on its head, by demonstrating his public ambivalence towards God was rooted in the complexity of his family-of-origin, especially his poor relationship with his father. Since retiring from NYU, he has taught at Divine Mercy University, a Catholic graduate school of psychology, while working on, with the help of his colleagues there, A Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person: Integration with Psychology and Mental Health Practice, one of the few, distinctly Christian models of therapy ever developed.
