This book explores the similarities and differences between the
practice of psychotherapy and spiritual direction and suggests
that, while there may be distinctions between the two activities,
the process is essentially the same. The purpose of the book is to
improve the understanding between therapists and spiritual
directors, to encourage dialogue and discussion between them, as
well as to offer challenges and learning to both.In the process of
exploring the interface between the practice of therapy and the
practice of spiritual direction, questions arise about how to
address issues of spirituality in a psychological context and
psychological issues in a spiritual context. A brief overview of
the historical background to spiritual direction is given, and
attention drawn to the links between this tradition and the
development of psychotherapy. Spiritual issues that may arise in
therapy together with psychological issues that occur during
spiritual direction are discussed, leading on to a comparison
between dark night of the soul experiences and clinical
depression.Ethical practice and the recognition of possible misuse
of power in both the therapeutic and spiritual direction
relationships are examined and the subject of the inclusion of
prayer in either is also considered. The provision of relevant and
effective training is discussed.The book concludes with a
proposition that, taking common factors theory into account,
spiritual direction might be considered to be a modality of
psychotherapy, and an invitation to those engaged in either
psychotherapy or spiritual direction to engage in further
discussion and conversation in the interests of developing good
practice in both."
