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.
This new edited collection explores the intersection of spiritual
direction and counselling/psychotherapy, and the relationship
between the two. Citing the influencing effect prayer and
counselling have had on each other, the contributors offer insight
into the similarities and differences of spiritual direction and
counselling, and of what the disciplines have to learn from each
other. Advocating the importance of addressing the spiritual
dimension of care in areas such as mental health and social care,
this book promotes a synthesis of pastoral guidance and
psychological counselling. The chapters offer insight to the
healing role spirituality and prayer can play when counselling for
trauma, sexual abuse or loss of a loved one. Whether discussing
training counsellors to be spiritually literate, or exploring how
spiritual accompaniers can take a psychologically-informed
approach, all the contributors bring their extensive experience to
bear working with spiritual and psychological issues.
