Soul consciousness and human suffering: psychotherapeutic approaches to healing
1Department of Psychotherapy, Warneford Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
A clinical approach to the understanding of disturbances of the psyche that otherwise would be regarded as pathological states of mind is described. A parallel is drawn between psychoanalytic object relations theory and "spiritual object relations," working from the premise that mind comes before matter. A number of clinical examples illustrate how both psychological and spiritual interpretations may be applied and that highlight the need for psychiatrists to be open to the transpersonal frame of reference.
