The role of the pastoral psychotherapist requires balance between
the individual, the community, and God. Are you ready to take on
this challenge?This unique book examines the role of pastoral
psychotherapy as it relates to the individual, the community, and
God, and describes the process of pastoral psychotherapy in detail.
It identifies healing as a mark of God's activity, and then shows
how God, through healing, creates communities that ultimately shape
the selves and personalities within them. Pastoral psychotherapy is
a sanctified act taking place in a sanctified space. It occurs in
"sacred space" as defined/created/hallowed by God, the community,
the therapist, and the client. The delineating of this sanctified
holy space separates what goes on in therapy from the secular,
ordinary processes of life. A Theology for Pastoral Psychotherapy:
God's Play in Sacred Spaces finds God in the creation of each
sacred space. Pastoral psychotherapy has developed as a means of
enabling individuals and communities to cope with the ills of the
modern age. It addresses sin and evil in today's world, changing
the way that clients relate to people, ideas, and events in their
communities, families, and individual psyches. A Theology for
Pastoral Psychotherapy: God's Play in Sacred Spaces describes the
process of psychotherapy from a theological point of view. It shows
how God hallows sacred spaces and explores the power of God to
stimulate the search for healing. A Theology for Pastoral
Psychotherapy: God's Play in Sacred Spaces: explores the sharing of
selves as presented by theorists on intersubjectivity identifies
the creation of the therapy dyad in the work of the Holy Spirit,
drawing on new trinitarian theology explores ways in which therapy
both is and is not an extension of the work of Christ shows how God
lures us toward spiritual growth links psychoanalysis to the
mystical disciplines, interweaving mystical Christianity,
object-relations view of psychoanalysis, and process theologyBased
on the theories of Bion, Klein, Winicott, Bollas, and Whitehead, A
Theology for Pastoral Psychotherapy: God's Play in Sacred Spaces is
an in-depth examination of the intricate interplay of God,
community, the individual, and the therapist in pastoral
psychotherapy. at www.HaworthPress.com.
