We are all called to reject sin, to grow in virtue, and, above all else, to love God with all that we are. But some souls suffer from anxiety and feelings of guilt because they see sin where there is none and struggle to embrace God's love and mercy - a psychological and spiritual condition known as scrupulosity. In Scrupulosity: Heal Your Mind, Unbind Your Soul, and Let God Work, clinical psychologist Dr. Kevin Vost provides a comprehensive overview of the ancient and current psychological and theological understanding of scrupulosity and how those who suffer from it can find peace and healing. He guides the reader through the empowering effects of the sacraments, virtues, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and prayer, as well as scientific insights into the physical and emotional reality of scrupulosity. Along the way, he offers inspiration from the lives of saints. This book answers many common questions, such as: What are the causes of scrupulosity? How can I know if I have it? How does it manifest in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors? Does one outgrow scrupulosity over time? Christ does not want us to live this life with troubled hearts mired in fear. Ultimately, this book invites both the scrupulous and those who love them to attain greater spiritual and psychological peace.

The Doubting Disease by Joseph W. Ciarrocchi brings to the fore the most current information available today on religion and scruples, scrupulosity, and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD). In this book he helps us clearly appreciate the interior anguish suffered by thousands of people of faith who have this symptomatology and what we can do about it. As well as offering a concise, helpful understanding of the demographics, etiology and treatment of scrupulosity and OCD, in the Doubting Disease he also addresses the questions: *How does scrupulosity develop? *What are the differences between common and uncommon scrupulosity? *What are some classic and contemporary models of religious scrupulosity? *Where does the issue of scrupulosity fit into the history of pastoral care? *What are some practical ways to target scruples and increase motivation for reduction of scrupulosity and compulsivity? *How and when should persons get help for scrupulosity and OCD? Essential for all persons involved in general ministry, pastoral counseling, and the treatment of religious persons suffering from scrupulosity and OCD, I believe this book will also be of great service for anyone interested in the psychology of religion and the theological topics of "conversion," "discernment," and "sin." ---Robert J.

People with scrupulosity have rigorous, obsessive moral beliefs that lead them to perform extreme, compulsive moral acts. A waitress with this condition checks and rechecks levels of cleaners and solvents to avoid any risk of poisoning her customers. Another individual asks repeatedly whether he fasted correctly, despite swallowing his own saliva. Those with scrupulosity stretch out their prayers for hours to be sure that they have said nothing incorrectly. They worry constantly about cleanliness, sinfulness, and all the ways they could be falling short of perfection. Using a range of fascinating case studies, Jesse S. Summers and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong argue that scrupulosity constitutes a mental illness and not moral sainthood. In doing so, they consider several important philosophical questions: Do the moral beliefs and judgments of those with scrupulosity differ from ours, or are these individuals just stricter in their moral observance? Are they morally responsible for their actions? Should they be pressured into psychiatric treatment, even when therapy leads them to act in ways they find immoral? Summers and Sinnott-Armstrong illustrate how psychiatric cases can inform the way we think about these and other philosophical issues, particularly those surrounding responsibility, rationality, and the nature of belief, morality, and mental illness. Clean Hands? will fascinate psychiatrists who treat patients with scrupulosity, philosophers who study morality, and anyone who has ever wondered about and struggled with the obligations and limits of morality.

Scrupulosity: Reportedly 1.) A psychological disorder, with possible pathological guilt over moral or religious issues. 2.) An obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). For me, the author of this book, I have broken the subject down into four categories and it helps me to additionally think of Scrupulosity as an obsessive addiction. I offer this information only as my personal exploration of Scrupulosity and not professional advice.

Christianity is primarily used as examples of Scrupulosity levels 1 through 4 in this book because of my familiarity with it and because of its power over this American government and its leaders, thereby all of us. The psychological disorder Scrupulosity is found by this author to be at a much more dangerous level than found in its classification as a form of OCD. I believe that it manifests itself in the criminal behaviors such as rape, murder, and genocide.The sufferers of this learned religious mental disorder that is found in the human mind are all around us. They commit crimes and cover them up under the pretense of doing God's work. There is a word describing these criminals of God's and that word is Scrupulosity at any level. We all suffer because they all suffer.

Many people, at one time or another, struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, punishment, and hell. But a segment of the population, many of them Catholic, are so afraid of sin that their lives are marked with anxiety and fear. These people suffer from an affliction called scrupulosity. This book provides specific answers to questions and concerns related to sin, confession, self-worth, sexuality, prayer, God's forgiveness, thoughts, dreams, fantasies, and other issues. It offers words of encouragement and helpful suggestions to those who suffer from this affliction and for those who counsel them.

I will personally cherish this work, because I believe I will be able to use it to help others manage the ugly ogre of scrupulosity in their lives. If and when they do, they will discover something of that peace 'which surpasses all understanding.' John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York To those who wonder why he wrote this book, William Van Ornum might echo Pope John XXIII when he was asked why he convened Vatican Council II: 'To make the human sojourn on earth less sad.' This book will surely do that for countless men and women who have suffered not only the special pains of depression and religious scrupulosity but at times from the treatments prescribed for them. This is a very great practical handbook for this specific syndrome but, because of its tone of profound human understanding, it is something more, a book whose gentle and seasoned wisdom will make anybody who reads it feel better and more courageous about facing the challenges of life. Eugene Kennedy, co-author of 'On Becoming a Counselor' God love you, Mr. Van Ornum, for your sincere desire to help people who are troubled in this way. I will pray that your book brings light and peace to many. Mother Teresa, M.C., Calcutta, India

Blasphemous thoughts you can't get rid of, praying over and over until you get it "just right," worried your repentance or confession isn't sufficient - these are just a few examples of many symptoms of a mental health issue called Scrupulosity. Scrupulosity is a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that is specific to religious issues. In Saints Overcoming Scrupulosity, Dr. Kyle N. Weir, nationally renowned for treating scrupulosity among Latter-day Saints, outlines his three-phase treatment model for therapy. In Phase-One, Dr. Weir outlines how to embrace foundational truths about mental health and the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ to help the sufferer of scrupulosity develop a healthier relationship with God and themselves. In Phase-Two, he outlines how to use Mindful CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - the gold standard in treatment of OCD - to aid the sufferer of scrupulosity. In Phase Three, he demonstrates how to use integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into treatment to enhance the chances of overcoming scrupulosity. Dr. Weir further provides key information for church leaders, how priesthood leaders and therapists can work hand-in-hand to help suffering members overcome scrupulosity, and speaks directly to those suffering with scrupulosity offering comfort and hope.

This essential resource brings recognition to scrupulosity and moral perfectionism, an often overlooked and misunderstood subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Two to three percent of the global population suffer from OCD. Of that number, approximately five percent of OCD sufferers report having religious or moral obsessions. Scrupulosity, an often under-recognized subtype of OCD, leads those affected to mistake clinical OCD symptoms for committing sins, offending God, or being morally corrupt. Many people with scrupulosity or moral perfectionism turn to clergy for help rather than a mental health professional. This book, authored by a therapist among the most experienced in the world in dealing with this disorder, covers the symptoms, diagnosis, history, development, causes, and treatment of scrupulosity. Intended for students, mental health professionals, and clergy, this essential resource includes the latest theory, research, treatments, and case studies necessary to recognize and destigmatize scrupulosity as well as encourage optimal treatment outcomes and relapse prevention.

Based on twenty-five years of questions and answers to the SA newsletter, this book is written for those who suffer scruples and those who care about them. It is a handy resource in times of doubt, helping the afflicted better understand scrupulosity, offering spiritual counsel, and encouraging healthy faith. Characterized by thoughts that can't seem to be shaken, and often described as a thousand frightening fantasies or like being constantly and unrelentedly pricked by a pin, scrupulosity afflicts tens of thousands of individuals, many Catholic. Their nagging questions and concerns are related to sin, confession, self-worth, sexuality, prayer, God's forgiveness, thoughts, dreams, and fantasies, and other areas. Fr. Santa has written a reassuring book, one that will ease a person's doubts and help restore true peace of mind and soul. It is a much-needed work that will also be welcomed by confessors and those in the helping profession.
