healing through self-knowlege and story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Helps the reader move into a fuller, more loving relationship with God, with others, and with him/herself by way of understanding and working to change beliefs about his/her place in his/her family of origin. Employing the wisdom of his experience as a pastoral psychologist as well as the insights of clinical researchers and therapists, the author offers ways (through storytelling) to demythologize false absolutes and to refocus distorted maps of reality. He then develops practical exercises to promote spiritual growth and poses carefully guided questions to enable self-understanding. The result is a strengthening of the power to love. The author is Professor of Pastoral Psychology at Boston University School of Theology.
