摘要

This article examines the relationship between Thomistic pneumatology, mental health, and the adversity quotient (AQ), showing how Aquinas’s understanding of the Holy Spirit as Gift, Love, and Consoler illuminates resilience amid suffering. While psychology defines resilience through the AQ as the capacity to cope with adversity, Aquinas offers a complementary vision in which the Spirit indwells the soul, perfecting human nature through grace and strengthening fortitude, hope, and charity. Through a qualitative analysis of the Summa Theologiae, the study demonstrates how the Spirit fosters interior healing, freedom, and integration, proposing a holistic model of mental health that unites spiritual and psychological dimensions.
