Spiritual Direction and the Other offers the first interdisciplinary exploration of how ancient traditions of spiritual accompaniment can restore openness to mystery and cultural sensitivity in our psychotherapeutic helping professions.
As therapeutic culture has grown to dominate the landscape of helping professions in recent decades, humanistic caregivers have increasingly struggled to identify methods and traditions that remain open to the Other. Though often neglected by mainstream psychology, spiritual direction not only provides an alternative mode of accompanying others in a world of growing instability, but also draws from an intellectual history that predates the earliest Western medical and psychological theories by centuries. This edited collection is the first to explore the history of spiritual direction as a resource for both accompanying others with cultural sensitivity and resisting the hegemony of reductionism in psychotherapy. Its authors invite readers into sacred, and sometimes unsettling, conversations about how we accompany others through crises of meaning-making, trauma, and pluralistic longing. Whether engaging Desert Fathers and Mothers, Spanish mystics, Afro-Caribbean humanism, Buddhist pedagogy, contemporary psychoanalysis, or Italian literary arts, its contributors offer distinct encounters with what it means to listen for the sacred in the strange, the suffering, and the soul.
Bringing together interdisciplinary contributors from clinical psychology, theology, philosophy, chaplaincy and history, this volume provides not only a rich analysis of the identity of spiritual direction in the 21st century, but models of how spiritual direction can inform caregiving, advocacy and education in countless contexts.
