FROM MORALITY TO MENTAL HEALTH
Virtue and Vice in a Therapeutic Culture
Mike W. Martin
Oxford University Press, 2006
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will explore ways in which morality and mental health are related in practical concerns such as love and work, self-respect and self-fulfillment, guilt and depression, crime and violence, and addictions.
The author asks 'are we replacing morality with therapy, in potentially confused and dangerous ways, or are we creatively integrating morality and mental health?' Using examples from popular culture and various moral controversies, the author draws on works from Plato, the Stoics, Freud, Nietzsche, and contemporary psychotherapeutic theories to conclude that sound morality is healthy and that moral values are inevitably embedded in our conceptions of mental health.
Mike W. Martin is Professor of Philosophy at Chapman University and author of Meaningful Work.
