Using a method of critical correlation, the author recommends an
interaction between clinical psychology and liberal theology which
preserves their unique sources, methodologies, and content, while
engaging in a mutually enriching dialogue. This work illustrates a
constructive interaction between these disciplines by applying the
concept of reconciliation derived from the Judeo-Christian
tradition as a foundation for a normative and empirical theory of
psychotherapy. Linguistic and phenomenological analyses of the
cognitive, affective, behavioral, and conative dimensions provide
an understanding of the experience of reconciliation compatible
with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
