Abstract: | Clinicians have lacked a coherent approach to emptiness, which is both a pervasive metaphor for loss, deficiency, or alienation
and a frequently cited spiritual goal. We suggest a framework for approaching emptiness that distinguishes among its subjective,
objective, and existential dimensions. Clinicians can use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches to clarify schemas
that distort patients’ perceptions of others and of themselves, behavioral and relational approaches to help them deal with
real deficiency and loss, and spiritually oriented approaches to put these into a larger context. |
