Conrad
Baars
Conrad Baars, along with
Anna Terruwe, pioneeered the study of Emotional
Deprivation Disorder, with insights based on the
theology of St Thomas Aquinas and modern psychology.
Unlike modern psychiatry, though, which largely
ignores the soul, Affirmation Therapy acknowldeges the
classic Catholic truths, but also stresses the
importance of the emotions and the deep-seated human
need for affirmation and love.
