Abstract

AbstractWhat difference does it make to those seeking help for psychological problems if the counsellor has an active faith in a transcendental God? This article describes one counsellor's journey to the Christian faith and the impact of the Clinical Theology Association, (now known as the Bridge Pastoral Foundation), on her work. Frank Lake's dynamic cycle, John Bowlby's attachment theory and its development in narrative psychology, are considered as useful ways of representing man's dependance on God. The goals of continuing professional effectiveness for the counsellor are outlined and seen to overlap in many important essentials with the goal of spiritual maturity in general.
