The contributors, who each work with spiritual issues, either
explicitly as spiritual directors or accompaniers, or as an
implicit part of their therapeutic work, offer a
psychologically-informed approach to Spiritual Accompaniment and
Direction, and to working with others on a spiritual level more
generally. They explore what it means to be attuned to the
spiritual process of another, discuss what makes an effective
relationship in Spiritual Accompaniment and counselling, and
consider how best to work with spiritual crisis, spiritual abuse,
and pain. The unconscious process informing the work, forgiveness,
changing spiritual needs over the life-span, and models of
supervision that can inform the practice of Spiritual Accompaniment
are also explored. A case study is presented, providing
psychological and theological insights into the accompaniment
process. Grounded in work with the spiritual dimension of others
and aspiring to improve encounters at a spiritual level, this
concise book has important implications for the practice of
counsellors, psychotherapists, and spiritual accompaniers and
directors.
