Abstract

Abstract. Many traditional Western psychologies fail to recognize spirituality and transcendental needs as intrinsic aspects of human nature and therefore may not be meeting the needs of those who are experiencing psychospiritual distress due to the trauma and loss associated with divorce. There is a growing recognition among clinicians that current divorce models of intervention may not, in fact, be meeting the needs of this population in that they tend to ignore the spiritual or transpersonal dimensions of the person. The purpose of this paper is to move entirely beyond the pathogenic and reactive grief models of divorce into an emergent growth model of transpersonal development, and to present this model with its eight phases of intervention as it has been adapted for use with divorcing clients.
