'Grace for the Injured Self' informs the reader about how 'self
psychology' developed by Heinz Kohut (1913-1981) can be an
influential theory for pastoral care. Kohut affirmed that religion
is not only an expression of the self, but can also sustain the
self in the alliance between faith and grace, with self psychology
and empathy. Terry D. Cooper, EdD, PhD, is Professor of Psychology
at St. Louis Community College at Meramec, and Adjunct Professor of
Religious Studies at Webster University. He has authored or
co-authored eleven books. Robert L. Randall, PhD, is a clinical
psychologist and an ordained minister of the United Church of
Christ, now in private practice. He is the author of seven books
and numerous articles. Terry Cooper and Robert Randall articulately
explore Kohut's psychoanalytic perspective of self psychology,
orientated towards pastoral care. The authors ascertain how the
human condition is affected by 'self injury', and the relationship
between this and the traditional notions of sin. Two interviews
with Kohut, never before published in the UK, give the reader
unique insights into the psychoanalyst whom many regard as the most
important figure in psychology since Sigmund Freud. ' "Grace for
the Injured Self" is a clear, readable, and down-to-earth
introduction to the self psychology of Heinz Kohut. It demonstrates
the practical relevance of Kohut's central ideas for understanding
ourselves and our relations with others. It explains how mutual
expressions and acts of empathy enable our lives to reflect more
fully the essence of the human spirit. It also shows how attention
to the conflicting self-issues of the pastor and congregation may
produce fundamentally positive changes in their life together.
Personal interviews with Heinz Kohut on religion and the courageous
life are an added bonus. A gracefully written book by two
thoughtful and perceptive self psychologists'. Donald Capps,
Professor of Pastoral Psychology, Emeritus, Princeton Theological
Seminary
