Implicit Religion in Dreams
Throughout history, virtually every major religion has prized dreams as a primary means of divine revelation. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, many in the fields of psychotherapy and pastoral counseling have recognized that dreams can help their clients develop the religious and spiritual dimensions of their lives. This article argues that the concept of implicit religion can encourage dreamers to appreciate spiritual wisdom they mig…
Religion, Spirituality and Implicit Religion in Psychotherapy
This article examines psychotherapy’s changing attitude toward religion and spirituality, a change that signals a greater openness not only to explicit religion and spirituality, but also to the key elements of implicit religion. Recent studies indicate that the primary psychological elements of implicit religion are identity, values, worldview, and meaning. To the degree that psychotherapy helps people rewrite their personal story and redraw the…
Is Implicit Religion Spirituality in Disguise
Two important developments in the world of religion and spirituality have occurred over the last couple of decades. Even as mainline church attendance has been declining, there has been a growing preoccupation with spirituality.

Development of the God-image in Carl Jung's psychology and spirituality
This article considers the role of the God-image in Carl Jung's théories of religion, psychotherapy and human development.

In this regard he describes the individuation process as the progressive incarnation of the divine. His reflections on broadening the Christian God-image to include the feminine, matter and the shadow dea…
Dream interpretation in the psychology of religion
The earliest recorded dreams show that they were seen as part of a religious worldview, either as messages from the gods or as visitations by spirits and the gods themselves. The ancients made sense of dreams not as indicators of the dreamer's psychological state, but as real encounters with the spirit world and the sacred realm. In this article I examine how both of these perspectives on dreams, the ancient religious view and the more recent psy…
