Psychological Support,
Philosophical support,
Theological support,
Theoretical and clinical applications of the meta-model
"A Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person integrates the insights of three wisdom traditions-the psychological sciences, philosophy, and theology-to provide a framework for understanding the person.
