A Person-Centered Approach to Psychospiritual Maturation


Book Description

This book addresses the need for maturational growth in undergraduate and entry-level graduate students as a foundation for professional and civic development. It presents an engaged learning curriculum for higher education, Know Your Self, which strengthens psychological resilience and interpersonal community-building skills through person-centered growth in five dimensions of self: bio-behavioral, cognitive-sociocultural, social-emotional, existential-spiritual, and resilient worldview formation. This growth promotes well-being and a positive campus culture, preparing students to build cultures of health, social justice, and peace in the social systems where they will work and live. This project emerged from Kass’ professional work in humanistic psychology with Dr. Carl Rogers. Case studies and statistical data illustrate the formation of health-promoting, pro-social behaviors, culturally-inclusive community building, and secure existential attachment. This book will help faculty and student life professionals address the urgent need in young adults for person-centered psychospiritual maturation.

Resilience


Book Description

What we do today is what matters most. Life doesn't get more comfortable; we get stronger and more resilient. Resilience is a precious approach. People who have it also tend to have three underlying advantages: A believe that they can influence life events; a tendency to find meaningful purpose in life's turmoil; and a conviction that they can learn from both positive and negative experience. How resilient are you? God is the real source of our resilience; spiritual resilience is the only one that is self-replenishingamongst the sources of resilience. It is proven that the very act in believing adds to our resilience. Like emotional resilience, spiritual resilience grows when shared. But unlike all other resilience, it is spiritual resilience that refills itself. Nobody was born with a special type of resilience, be it spiritual, psychology, or otherwise; it's a defined character that has to be developed, we need it in our lives, and that makes us who we are. The question is, how does one develop this character? This book guides us on how to improve this "special character" through PRAYER, AFFIRMATION, GRATITUDE, EXHALING, and SILENCE. Do you know what that means? You can develop it!
