Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
The interaction between Religion and Psychology, one of the founding principles of AMCAP, has been addressed several times in AMCAP forums (De Hoyos, 1982) and elsewhere (Richards & Bergin, 2005; Sorensen, 1981; Sperry & Shafranske, 2005). Many may have entered the helping professions to fulfill personal religious needs a well as service goals. The long standing dialogue on the topic of Religion in the helping professions will not end with this article, nor should it ever end in this life. We believe that examining the ways in which Religion and Psychology interface deserves the attention and effort of many minds, …

Currently many theories within the field of psychology ascribe to a hidden assumption that individualism is a value one should pursue in order to obtain an ideal life.

A definition of love is given, and the article discusses and illustrates with clinical examples how love has the …

Previous research suggests the need for further exploration of the parent-child relationship in the development of adult male homosexuality. Utilizing the Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire (PCR-II; Siegelman, 1979) 135 men (57 ego-syntonic homosexuals, 34 ego-dystonic homosexuals, and 44 heterosexuals) were surveyed. Results included significant group differences on the PCR-II Mother scales and on frequency of sexual abuse. Results are consistent with past studies which suggest an important role for enviromental factors in the development of homosexuality, as consistent with theoretical literature from an object relations perspective.

Traditional psychological theories fail to take into account individual psychological deficits and thus make false conclusions regarding sanity and insanity.

Origins Of Human Worth, John M. Rector
Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
This paper addresses the problem of conditional self-worth among Latter-day Saints. Four principles are expounded which form the foundation of a cognitive strategy to replace the irrational belief that the worth of human beings is contingent on certain external conditions: (1) people are not upset by things, but by the view they take of things; (2) all human beings are flawed, imperfect, and fallible; (3) all human beings have equal worth; and (4) the worth of a human being in his or her capacity to become as God. These hierarchical principles form the basis of a healthy personal philosophy that …
