Virtue And Psychology: Pursuing Excellence In Ordinary Practices

by Blaine J. Fowers

Describes a new framework for psychology that not only acknowledges virtue, but also shows how values that we already hold in common may be incorporated into psychological practice, and into our lives as a whole. The author also discusses how practical wisdom?the ability to choose one?s actions wisely?illuminates therapeutic practice, research, and professional ethics. Virtue and Psychology will prove to be a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers seeking to integrate their life with their work in a way that is rewarding personally, for those around them, and for society at large.

It was an inspiring book to read... I am myself a philosophical therapist and I consider this work very essentiel for psychologists as well as other therapist. Without virtues it will be very very difficult to know how to navigate in life generally if we want a fulfilling and meaningful life. I think that Fowers challanges every psychological corner with this book.

Thank you

Excelente obra sobre la ética de la virtud y su aplicación a la psicología especialmente a la psicología moral. Una obra delicada y balanceada sobre el tema y hasta valiente en metanalizar la ética en la profesión. Excelente!!!!!!
