Glossary on Psychological and Spiritual Maturity

Psychology and spiritual life: understanding what is being talked about

A Glossary on Psychological and Spiritual Maturity is much needed, given the wide variety of opinions in psychology. It provides brief answers to a variety of questions. What is anxiety? Am I sad or depressed?

Sometimes questions come from a consultation with a specialist: The doctor mentioned a bipolar disorder. What does that mean? Other times, the questions arise from our subjective world: Am I feeling anger, is it a symptom of an illness or just a bad temper?

To understand our psychological world, and the psychological world of others, the first thing is to know what we are talking about.

The present glossary of terms in psychology and spiritual life, seeks to help especially the non-experts to enter into these inseparable and fundamental dimensions to live happily.

Many currents of psychology use the same words to refer to similar concepts, but the meanings do not always coincide. This resource is offered to better interpret the different arguments being discussed.

We have chosen as our main source of this Glossary on Psychological and Spiritual Maturity, the book of Wenceslao Vial, Madurez psicológica y espiritual, Palabra, Madrid.
