Psychology and spirituality in Denmark
The Danish equivalent of our Association of Psychologists, Dansk Psykolog Forening, received a subsection for earlier this year psychologists with a spiritual interest:
"The Network for Spiritually Oriented Psychologists is aimed at psychologists who are members of the Danish Psykolog Forening and who at the same time have a spiritual orientation in their work. The network's purpose is to explore the space between the psychology profession and the spiritual, in order to find the professional links that give meaning."
On Friday, a book will be published, written by a group of Danish psychologists:
"The book's authors are all practicing psychologists with different theoretical points of view, but one thing they have in common is that they have personal experience with a spiritual approach in their psychotherapeutic work. They all share the experience that spirituality as a dynamic and meaning-bearing force is important for people's deepest existential being and thus also for people's healing and mental health."
Wondering why something like that, both that such a network could be formed within our association, or that Swedish psychologists published a similar book, seems almost unthinkable. There must be something about the people's souls that is different anyway?
