| SPIRITUALITY IN THE CONSULTING ROOM |

A day on the Integration of the Spiritual
Dimension and Ordinary Clinical Work Ref.CPD/22
This day follows on from the autumn 2011 event in response to participant’s requests. The day offers another opportunity to explore how spirituality might be integrated with clinical work. Birgit Heuer’s paper “On Forgiveness” will be given in the morning as a focus for discussion and reflection. Like the presentation on numinosity at the first event, this paper opens up the spiritual dimension in a unique way. The approach to forgiveness presented paradoxically allows for it to become more ordinary and perhaps more richly available than is usually assumed. The afternoon will be given to participant’s clinical needs. Questions to be addressed are: Is spirituality in the consulting-room about special moments of numinosity or could it simply be part of the therapeutic attitude? If so, how does this fit with ordinary clinical work? Does the clinical hour need to be re- conceptualized from a spiritual point of view? What might be the relation of prayer and clinical work, do they simply belong to different disciplines or might an integration be possible, perhaps as prayerful therapeutic attitude? Are there ways in which the therapists spiritual attitude might aid the therapeutic process? Who the course is for Mainly therapists, both qualified and in training, including those in academic courses, possibly interested and experienced patients.Course Leaders Course leader - Birgit Heuer, Member of the BAP Venue
