The present study is a psychoanalytic reading of Archpriest Avvakum's autobiography and takes its cue from some observations made by Russian and Ukrainian historian Edward Keenan, who offered a tentative diagnosis of manic-depression to describe Avvakum's personality. In my view, Donald Capps's analysis of religious male melancholia supports Keenan's observations, and I argue that Avvakum carried his childhood experiences and conflicts over into his later religious life. His religious life manifested a series of transferences and displacements, with Mary the Mother of God, God the Father, and the Church functioning as his loving or positive relationships with his family; and Patriarch Nikon and his followers embodying everything he feared and resented about his own childhood—change and abandonment. 相似文献

This paper offers a pastoral reading of the memoir written by Lionel Dahmer, the father of the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
I suggest that the literary genre of the memoir provided Lionel with a means of confession that enabled him to process three
particular experiences related to his son—namely, grief, shame, and regret. I also suggest that the writing of this confession
enabled Lionel to forgive his son for his son’s various failures and, potentially, to forgive himself for his own failures
as a father, though this latter point can only be offered speculatively. This memoir is inherently pastoral and theological
because it deals with the themes of confession and forgiveness, and, theologically, the memoir also may be viewed as a work
of penance. One theological upshot, based on Lionel’s experience, entails challenging the idea that God the Father abandoned
God the Son on the cross: A more divine model of fatherhood would be one in which a father could embrace the shame of standing
by his son when the chips are down. 相似文献

This article, written for the Group for New Directions in Pastoral Theology’s conference on the theme of “Emotion, Mood, and Temperament,” focuses on Middlesex, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, Professor of Creative Writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. The novel, set in 20th century America and written as a fictional memoir, is a coming-of-age story of Cal/Calliope, a man with an intersex condition caused by 5-alpha-reductase deficiency. The mission statement of the Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) states that the organization is “devoted to systemic change to end shame, secrecy, and unwanted genital surgeries for people born with an anatomy that someone decided is not standard for male or female.” This essay employs the resources of pastoral theology to assist in the project of ending shame regarding intersex conditions by offering a pastoral theological reading of Middlesex. As such, this essay is an example of the discipline of pastoral theology being employed in the field of medical humanities in particular and the field of clinical humanities more broadly, and it also serves as an example as to how one might offer a pastoral theological reading of a novel. 相似文献

This paper examines the appeal and success of Joel Osteen, pastor of the largest church in America: Lakewood Church in Houston,
Texas. Our guiding theory comes from Heinz Kohut’s Self psychology, especially as elaborated in his interviews with Charles
Strozier. We also draw on the work of Indian psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar, who, using Kohut, argues that the guru in the Indian
context functions as a cultural selfobject, and we argue that Osteen functions in an analogous way in the American context—that
is, as a cultural selfobject. Specifically, we argue that Osteen’s appeal and success is due to what Kohut refers to as idealizing
transferences and mirroring transferences, as well as Osteen’s ability to provide a “calming structure” and a sense of “continuity,”
as Kohut uses these terms, for members of the Lakewood community. To demonstrate this thesis, we analyze a recent sermon by
Osteen, a chapter in one of his bestselling books, and the airplane incident that involved Victoria Osteen in December 2005.
We contextualize our analysis by discussing relevant sociological and demographic data pertaining to Lakewood Church, and
we conclude by making the point that cultures can become disillusioned with their own cultural selfobjects and, whatever the
fate of Joel Osteen and company, our culture will nevertheless continue to produce new cultural selfobjects. 相似文献

The “two-envelops” problem has stimulated much discussion on probabilistic reasoning, but relatively little experimentation. The problem specifies two identical envelopes, one of which contains twice as much money as the other. You are given one of the envelopes and the option of keeping it or trading for the other envelope. Variables of interest include the possible amounts of money involved, what is known about the process by which the amounts of money were assigned to the envelopes, and whether you are allowed to know how much money is in the envelope in hand before deciding whether to keep or trade. In an earlier study, Butler and Nickerson found that when participants were allowed to know how much was in the envelope in hand, they generally elected to trade if that amount was small relative to the range of possibilities and to keep otherwise. The present experiments showed that this propensity was independent of the amount of money in the envelopes. Participants made decisions with a strong bias for avoiding the risk of losing by trading, particularly when the amount in hand was known and large relative to the range of possible amounts, regardless of the absolute value of the gamble. The results illustrate the dependence of thinking on the context in which it occurs, and demonstrate a tendency to treat quantities that are large or small relative to a particular context in which they are encountered as though they were large or small in a more general sense. 相似文献

Informal polling of public school speech-language pathologists indicated that special education teachers referred more children for disorders of voice than did regular classroom educators. This study evaluated the effect of academic placement (regular or special education settings) upon children's and their teachers' ratings of abuse of the voice. Analysis showed the two groups of teachers' criteria for judging abusive vocal behaviors differed while the children's ratings from each setting did not differ. The special educators appeared to perceive their students' vocal behavior as more abusive possibly due to environmental constraints, training or the social affective interactions of their students. 相似文献
