Divine Mercy University Press Releases Mini-Version of Groundbreaking Meta-Model Book

Divine Mercy University Press (DMU Press) has announced the publication of a mini-version of the original 700-page volume, 'A Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person: Integration with Psychology and Mental Health Practice'. This new edition, condensed into a hundred-page book, aims to provide a more accessible summary of the Meta-Model's essential points and principles, making it suitable for those seeking a concise overview without the detailed analyses of the original.

The book, which integrates insights from psychology, philosophy, and theology, offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the person in the context of mental health practice. It has been recognized with the 2020 Expanded Reason Award by the Vatican Foundation Joseph Ratzinger / Benedict XVI and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria Madrid, highlighting its significance in bridging the gap between science and faith.

Author Paul C. Vitz, Ph.D., in collaboration with colleagues, has distilled the core ideas of the Meta-Model into this mini-version. The book is designed to serve as an educational tool for professors, practitioners, and students in the mental health field, enabling them to apply the Meta-Model framework in clinical work and psychological research. It also contributes to the theological and philosophical discourse on the nature of the person.

The mini-version is available for purchase in paperback and for Kindle on Amazon, offering an opportunity for a wider audience to engage with its content. This publication represents a significant step in making complex interdisciplinary research accessible to those outside the academic community, fostering a deeper understanding of the human person from multiple perspectives.
