FROM MORALITY TO MENTAL HEALTH
Virtue and Vice in a Therapeutic Culture
Mike W. Martin
Oxford University Press, 2006
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Explore ways in which morality and mental health are related in practical concerns such as love and work
• See how sound morality is healthy, and that moral values are embedded in our conceptions of mental health
• Recognize that both morality and mental healthy are overlapped and intertwined in our pursuit of a meaningful life.
• Learn that moral advice is now sought primarily from psychologists and therapists rather than philosophers or theologians
• Examine mental health and moral virtue: moral sickness, moral health, and sick morality
• Understand responsibility in health; in therapy, in community, and in blaming victims
• Develop an integrated, moral-therapeutic perspective for undesirable behaviors such as alcoholism
Mike W. Martin is Professor of Philosophy at Chapman University and author of Meaningful Work.
