Historically, the relationship between religion and psychotherapy
has been more negative than positive. Are there inherent
contradictions between the two, or can advances in the area of
mental health care offer insights that are useful for the work of
those in ordained ministry? This book presents an analysis of the
relationship between ordained ministry on the one hand and
counselling and psychotherapeutic practice on the other. It draws
on extensive interviews carried out with current and former clergy
in three churches (the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland
and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland) in order to clarify why
some have stayed in ministry and combined it with psychotherapy,
while others have left and continue their practice as
psychotherapists. The book explores possible links between the
sense of ministry in these two important areas of human experience
- religion and psychotherapy - and goes on to investigate how
combining these might lead to a different form of ministry.
This book analyzes the creation of languages across the Slavophone
areas of the world and their deployment for political projects and
identity building, mainly after 1989. It offers perspectives from a
number of disciplines such as sociolinguistics, socio-political
history and language policy. Languages are artefacts of culture,
meaning they are created by people. They are often used for
identity building and maintenance, but in Central and Eastern
Europe they became the basis of nation building and national
statehood maintenance. The recent split of the Serbo-Croatian
language in the wake of the break-up of Yugoslavia amply
illustrates the highly politicized role of languages in this
region, which is also home to most of the world's Slavic-speakers.
This volume presents and analyzes the creation of languages across
the Slavophone areas of the world and their deployment for
political projects and identity building, mainly after 1989. The
overview concludes with a reflection on the recent rise of
Slavophone speech communities in Western Europe and Israel. The
book brings together renowned international scholars who offer a
variety of perspectives from a number of disciplines and sub-fields
such as sociolinguistics, socio-political history and language
policy, making this book of great interest to historians,
sociologists, political scientists and anthropologists interested
in Central and Eastern Europe and Slavic Studies.
