Counselling the Catholic is just such a book. It was written with the daily needs of counselor and confessors in mind, and provides practical, sound suggestions for dealing with such difficult problems as alcoholism, masturbation, homosexuality and scrupulosity. These practical pointers, however, are not isolated and hence dangerous. They are prefaced by a brilliant sketch of the factors which influence the development of the human person, and are followed by an authoritative treatment of the moral questions posed by the sexual deviationist, the alcoholic and the scrupulous.
