The New York Times bestselling author of the classic The Care of the Soul addresses the needs of those providing soul care to others&;therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, teachers, and even friends&;sharing his insights for incorporating a spiritual or soulful dimension into their work and practices.
Soul Therapy is the culmination of Thomas Moore&;s work. In his previous acclaimed books, he explored the soul in important areas of our lives&;work, sex, marriage, family, religion, and aging. In this wise guide, he now returns to his core vocation: teaching practitioners&;therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, and others&;how to offer soul care to those they assist.
A training manual infused with a lifetime&;s worth of wisdom, Soul Therapy is divided into five sections:
- What therapy or &;soul care&; is and how it works;
- What soul work is required of the helper to be able to address the needs of others;
- How to access and move forward the spiritual dimension;
- How to apply this work to specific areas, such as work, marriage, parenting, or teaching;
- How to deal with other issues that arise, such as developing a therapeutic style, dealing with one&;s shadow, and the need for self-care.
Profound yet practical, enlightened yet grounded in real-world experience, Soul Therapy
will become a definitive resource for caregivers and practitioners for years to come.
