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.
'Authority and rigour ... great generosity and gentleness. The
authors diagnose a critical problem in the church and offer
practical advice on how to fix it.' Andrew Graystone, theologian,
broadcaster and communications consultant 'Every time he wanted me
to do something, he would quote scripture... I couldn't argue with
scripture, it was like arguing with God.' The term 'spiritual
abuse' is widely used across the Christian community. But what is
it? Sometimes spiritual abuse involves leaders misusing their
position, but ministers can also be the victims. Common factors
include control through misuse of scripture, claims to divine
authority, pressure to conform, and enforced accountability.
Individuals may be isolated, and compelled to secrecy and silence.
Drawing on a combination of extensive research, individual
testimonies, and years of hands-on experience, Lisa Oakley and
Justin Humphreys describe clearly the nature of spiritual abuse,
and the best ways of countering it. Recovery is possible. But - how
do we prevent spiritual abuse in the first place? What can leaders
do to create safer places? Is there a link between theological
ideas and harmful behaviours? How can leaders create opportunities
for spiritual and emotional flourishing? Dr Lisa Oakley has
researched spiritual abuse in the Christian faith in the UK since
2003. Justin Humphreys is chief executive of the safeguarding
charity thirtyone: eight.
