Description
This book provides insights into the role group work has played in the evolution of Clinical Pastoral Education. The author demonstrates through historical analysis how psychoanalysis and humanistic psychology were creatively interfaced to offer a method suited to assist theological students in their educational and professional development. Drawing especially on the group theory and practice of Wilfred Bion, Dr. Hemenway offers a theory of group work in which the notion of transformative play assumes a central role. She demonstrates this approach by detailing actual group work within a CPE context and by rooting her theory in the “living human experience.”
