Event Overview

Dr. Craig Titus’ lecture, “A Vocation-Virtue Tandem: A Meta-Model for Mental Health and Spiritual Flourishing,” seeks to address two questions. First, how does making explicit the religious, philosophical, and psychological presuppositions in a meta-modal of the person serve mental health practice and spiritual flourishing? Second, what benefits come from the interplay of two premises, one that is familiar (that “virtues lead to a flourishing life”) and one that is less familiar (that “vocations lead to a flourishing life”)? Focusing on the interdependence of vocations and virtues, the lecture will address the benefits that a Catholic Christian meta-model offers for understanding the mental health and spiritual flourishing of the person and his or her interpersonal relationships in an integrated approach.
