How can you believe in yourself and others? Dr. Luca Badetti explores this question in his book “I Believe in You,” (New City Press, 2018). Grounded in stories from his life alongside people with intellectual disabilities in inclusive L’Arche communities, and integrating insights from psychology and theology, Badetti brings together wholistic insights for anyone who wants to live authentically. Join us for a book presentation by the author, followed by a book signing.
Luca Badetti is a doctor in Disability Studies, with degrees in Clinical Psychology and Theology, and has been a fellow in Psychoanalysis. He teaches at Loyola University Chicago’s Institute of Pastoral Studies, Adler University and for DePaul University’s Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies program. He has been involved with L’Arche communities internationally, including as Director of Community Life at L’Arche Chicago. Through his work, both in the US and in Italy, he promotes personal wholeness and social transformation through the encounter with disability.
