Health and Healing
Sport and Spirituality
The spiritual dimension of sport is examined from the point of view that it is a unique human experience per se; no association with any religion needs to be made. How does sport serve as spiritual practice in the life of the individual, especially for the person who may not actually have any religious affiliation? Explored is the function of sport in the life of the person who says, "Okay, I am NOT religious, but I AM spiritual, and my sporting …
Dominance Hierarchies and Health
Under Sail Alone at Sea
What makes sport spiritual practice? How is sport a means of spiritual insight and character formation? A cue is taken from ethicist and moralist, Hans Jonas, who links together the nature of modern technology and its implications for future generations. In this study, elements of sport as spiritual practice are identified and illustrated by yachting people who venture on long, offshore passages alone, including ‘solo’ circumnavigators of the glo…

Mortal Losses, Vital Gains
Before I'd Be a Slave, I'd Be Buried in My Grave, and Go Home to My Lord and Be Free
The question addressed is, Does participation in new religions lead to mental illness (argument of the so-called cult-busters) or to mental health (argument of James Richardson), or is some other option possible? The answer is that the debate founders on a mistaken emphasis on the mind (e.g., brainwashing, mind control, deprogramming). The way out of the impasse is to stress the body and to ask how participation in new religions implies a reckoni…

Family as vocation
This paper addresses the importance of families in promoting the spirituality and growth of future generations. It challenges the modern ideology of individualism as not being concerned with the species thriving or surviving in the long term, unless it becomes subsumed under or serves familism
Reading Lives to Live
Biography embodies and amplifies serious living. This is done not by a postmodern emphasis on studying individuals' "meanings" in living, but rather their "needs" and "acts," which together articulate two "laws of the mortal body," viz. the turnover of generations (mortality/natality) and gender complementarity (sexuality). Specific phenomenological accounting for these laws in the study of lives makes biographical studies a religious endeavour a…

Mortal Body, Studying Lives
Implications of the complicity of the psychology of religion in the post- modern condition of knowledge are countered by an argument that the body should be given more account in this field of research. Such an emphasis is exemplified by the work of Henry Murray, who himself located his research somewhere between biology (science) and literature (art) (Murray, 1938, p. 607). A revival of Murray's emphasis suggests that embodied knowledge de- rive…
Strategic Irony and Lytton Strachey's Contribution to Biography
Lytton Strachey's use of strategic irony opened the door to post-World War II interest in possible connections between psychology and biography. Recent discussions in psychology and literary criticism serve as background for demonstrating the dynamic of strategic irony in Strachey's life and work, and for suggesting that his accomplishment is a powerful personal legacy available to today's working biographer
Biography, Individuality and the Study of Religion
During June, 1836 Soren Kierkegaard attended a soiree in Copenhagen where the wine flowed, witty conversation bubbled from every corner, and he himself was at the centre of merriment – sparkling, acerbic, enormously witty. After the party he returned home and penned the following lines in his journal: I have just now come from a party where I was its life and soul; witticisms streamed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away…
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross as a Religious Leader
Previously it has been argued that Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' concept “acceptance” should be understood as a symbol of the private sphere which arose as a feminine cultural response to early capitalism. In this article, Kubler-Ross is considered as a charismatic religious leader. The feminine quality of her message and leadership style is examined. Kubler-Ross' career is examined in the light of recent studies of feminine versus masculine psychologic…

Are psychological studies of religion on the right track
Researchers in psychology of religion in America and Britain have inherited the theoretical and research traditions established by W. James, S. Freud and J. Dittes. New nomothetic or theoretical frameworks have been called for in order to organize a plethora of idiographic data. A response to the call has been slow, but Paul Pruyser designated at least six areas in which the development of psychology of religion might most fruitfully occur; and t…
Explorations in Character
The history of biography during the nineteenth century is understood as a harbinger of modern psychological science. This is demonstrated by a comparison of the style of biographic inquiry of the obscure American biographer, Gamaliel Bradford (1863-1932), with the psychological methods of the famous American psychologist, Henry A. Murray (1893- ). Thus, Murray's "explorations in personality" can be understood as a modern elaboration of Bradford's…

Jonathan Edwards’ Analysis of Religious Experience
Jonathan Edwards’ appraisal of religious experience is analyzed from three perspectives: (a) the cultural and historical setting in which he lived; (b) his psychological understanding of human nature; and (c) his theological analysis of religious experience. The conclusion is that for Edwards such experience is not a product of an “either/or” choice between reason and emotion. Rather, it is an integrated experience of seizure of the whole man exp…
