ABOUT THE BOOK

Psychology and Formation: Structure and Dynamics is a foundational text in the field of Formative Psychology, co-authored by Amedeo Cencini and Alessandro Manenti. Both authors are priest-psychologists who pioneered a multidisciplinary approach to the development of the human person, particularly within the context of religious and priestly life.

The book moves beyond simple behavioral psychology, offering a deep "anthropological" framework. It examines how the human psyche (the "structure") interacts with the call to spiritual growth (the "dynamics"), providing a roadmap for educators, therapists, and formators to help individuals achieve internal consistency and emotional maturity.
