Description
Summary:Having traced the etymological roots of the tension between psychology and theology (Vande Kemp, 1982), the author discusses the presence of a twentieth-century “psychology without a soul.” Some aspects of the depth-psychological tradition are examined in their documentation of unconscious processes and their assertion of the presence of both soul and spirit. The author argues for a trichotomic anthropology which differentiates, at least for clinical and pastoral purposes, between the spiritual and the psychological.
