Personlichkeitstraining fur junge erwachsene-eine aufgabe der evangelischen ortsgemeinde : ein gemeindepadagogisches experiment / Personality training for young adults - a challenge for the local protestant church : an experiment in Christian educationMuller, Petra Johanna 11 1900 (has links)
As youngsters become adults, the development of their personality becomes the focus of their attention. However, neither Christian youthwork nor adult education within the Protestant Church in Germany is geared towards accompanying and advising them in the midst of their religious questions and changes. There is virtually no scholarly or church literature that would focus on the age group of 18 to 30 year olds. Thus far, the Protestant Church has not yet published non-commercial programs for personality development.
This dissertation focuses on evaluating a personality training program that was specially developed for young adults. The structures and the content are analyzed in order to gain insights into how such a training can be implemented in the local church. The empirical results will be complemented by insights from different studies on youth, theological and anthropological perspectives on personality and personhood, and two popular models of courses on the Christian faith. / An der Schwelle zum Erwachsenwerden steht die Entwicklung der eigenen Persönlichkeit im Mittelpunkt des Denkens von jungen Menschen. Aber weder die Jugendarbeit noch die Erwachsenenbildung sieht eine Aufgabe darin, junge Erwachsene in ihren religiösen Fragen und Veränderungen zu begleiten und zu beraten. Wissenschaftliche und gemeindepädagogische Literatur, speziell für die Altersgruppe der 18- bis 30-Jährigen, liegt kaum vor und innerhalb der evangelischen Kirche gibt es bislang keine nichtkommerziellen Persönlichkeitsprogramme für diese Personengruppe.
Der Fokus dieser Arbeit ist auf die Dokumentation und die qualitative Evaluation eines Persönlichkeitstrainings gerichtet, das speziell für junge Erwachsene entwickelt wurde. Untersucht werden die Strukturen und die Inhalte des Programms, um konkrete Gestaltungshinweise für die Durchführung in einer örtlichen Kirchengemeinde zu gewinnen. Die empirischen Ergebnisse werden durch Exzerpte aus verschiedenen Jugendstudien, aus theologisch-anthropologischen Erörterungen zu Persönlichkeit und Person sein und die Bewertung von zwei christlich populären Glaubenskursen ergänzt. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.

Reflections on the well-being levels of professionals in rural and semi-rural areas : faith theoretical perspectiveModise, Leepo 06 1900 (has links)
This study evolved from an involvement with professional people in a rural and semi-rural environment thereby taking into account the role which the Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) plays in their professional context of work. Two underlying factors motivate the study. Firstly, that professional needs and capacities of faith, belief and spirituality are not been catered for in the EAPs. Secondly, that an African-Christian wholesome sense making approach provides more satisfactory answers to the lack of faith, belief and spirituality in the EAPs than the modern versions of the classic dualist and tripartite anthropological schemes of soul and body or soul, spirit and body. Furthermore, a wholesome sense making approach supports and tackles people’s wellness and well-being levels more satisfactorily than the classic dualist and tripartite views. An outline of an EAP in which faith leaders and consultants and their programmes are integrated and which contributes to the enhancing of well-being levels and performance management of professional people is described.
The main focus of the study revolves around wholesome foursome experiential patterns in which alternating emphases of faith experience are acted out in the sense of ‘I believe God, I believe myself, I believe my human neighbours and I believe the physical natural environment’. This four side pattern of faith experience functions as an important theoretical assumption in the study. A second theoretical assumption has to do with the foursome processual framework of God’s grand acts of creation, reconciliation (redemption= cross and resurrection of Jesus), renewal (ongoing renewal of everything) and consummation and fulfilment towards the end (aim and goal) in which we as people and the physical natural environment are intrinsically and continuously involved. A third theoretical assumption revolves around the foursome experiential professional performance pattern of ‘I perform for God, I perform for myself, I perform for my human neighbours and I perform for the physical natural environment’. The foursome experiential patterns are also set as evaluative pointer patterns around which the empirical investigative part is constructed. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / D.Th.

Making meaning in anticipatory mourning : reflections by caregiving spouses of cancer patientsEsterhuizen, Estelle Leonie 11 1900 (has links)
This insider research journey explores the meaning-making processes of female spousal caregivers in anticipatory mourning and the knowledges which they have gained in retrospect. The research traces the social constructions of meaning and how they influence the process of meaning-making. A phenomenological study was undertaken in which unstructured interviews were conducted with five bereaved participants, highlighting the unique way in which each woman made meaning of loss in anticipatory mourning. The main phenomenological themes to emerge from their meaning-making were: a) the significance of time; b) challenges and gifts; c) witnessing the decline; d) paradoxes; e) the significance of the spousal relationship; and f) spirituality. The therapeutic effect of telling the life story is explored in this study and the need for contextual pastoral care that is specific to the state of anticipatory mourning is highlighted. Finally, possibilities for co-constructive pastoral care are raised in the light of the research findings. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th.

A survey on the occurrence and effects of corporal punishment on children in the homeSmith, Elizabeth, 1983- 11 1900 (has links)
The aim of the current study was to determine the occurrence and effects of corporal punishment in the South African environment. Special attention was paid to themes that were derived from the literature. These themes were immediate compliance, aggression and the parental influence of corporal punishment.
This was a quantitative study which utilised a survey developed by the researcher using previous literature on the topic of corporal punishment. The sample was taken from four different schools in the Johannesburg area. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty one children within middle childhood (N=121).
It was found that corporal punishment is occurring in South African homes. It was also found that children do not feel indifferent about the use of corporal punishment. When it came to the use of corporal punishment and socio-economic status, it was found that there is a significant correlation between the two. / Social Work / M.Diac (Play therapy)

Pastorale gestaltterapeutiese intervensie om mishandelde laatadolessente wat skuld en skaamte ervaar, na vergifnis te begeleiDenton, Rudy Arthur 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English / A pastoral Gestalt therapeutic intervention model was developed, implemented and
evaluated in the research to facilitate the therapeutic process from guilt and shame to
forgiveness. Guilt and shame can be traumatic self-conscious experiences which has
an impact on abused late adolescent's physical, psychological, social, emotional, moral
and religious development. It can determine the adolescent's behavior, their views of
themselves and their interpersonal relationships. Guilt and shame arouses feelings of
helplessness, anger, blame, bitterness and the need for retaliation, while forgiveness
can relieve these impulses effectively and be utilized as a source for a recovering
experience.
In designing the intervention model, the researcher studied adolescents' emotional
experience, behaviour and management of guilt, shame and forgiveness from a
pastoral base theory within the Gestalt therapeutic perspective. The formation of the
paradigm is based on a multidisciplinary approach which takes place on the interface
between pastoral counselling and Gestalt therapy without the unique content and
character of pastoral care or the Gestalt therapy being lost. By utilizing the intervention
model abused late adolescents are assisted with the necessary awareness to focus on
what is on their foreground in order to reach self-regulation of their emotional
experience. The intervention model was developed as a prototype intervention based
on Enright's forgiveness process model and components of both the pastoral base
theory and the Gestalt therapeutic process of the Schoeman working model.
The research was performed by using a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach. The
qualitative approach entails the use of applied intervention in intervention research
while the quantitative approach consists of measuring the respondents' experiences of
guilt, shame and forgiveness, using three standardized rating scales before and after
intervention. The researcher applied the intervention research design in a multiple
case study with five respondents and a single-system design was incorporated into the
intervention research. The measurement of respondents' experiences of guilt, shame
and forgiveness after intervention, determined whether the changes took effect,
attributable to their participation in the intervention. Following the research findings the
conclusion was made that the pastoral Gestalt therapeutic intervention model can be
used effectively to guide abused late adolescents who experience guilt and shame, to
forgiveness. / In die navorsing is 'n pastorale Gestaltterapeutiese intervensiemodel ontwikkel,
geimplementeer en geevalueer om die terapeutiese proses van skuld en skaamte na
vergifnis te fasiliteer. Skuld en skaamte kan traumatiese selfbewuste ervaringe wees
wat mishandelde laat-adolessente se fisieke, psigiese, sosiale, emosionele, morele en
religieuse ontwikkeling beinvloed. Dit kan bepalend vir die adolessente se gedrag
wees, asook hul siening van hulself en hul interpersoonlike verhoudinge. Skuld en
skaamte wek gevoelens van magteloosheid, woede, blaam, bitterheid en die behoefte
na vergelding, terwyl vergifnis hierdie impulse kan verlig en effektief benut kan word as
'n bron van die herstelervaring.
In die antwerp van die intervensiemodel het die navorser die adolessente se
emosionele ervaring, gedrag en hantering van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis vanuit 'n
pastorale basisteorie binne die Gestaltterapeutiese perspektief bestudeer. Die vorming
van die paradigma is geskoei op 'n multidissiplinere benadering wat op die tussenvlak
tussen pastoraat en Gestaltterapie plaasvind, sander om die eiesoortige inhoud en
karakter van die pastoraat of die Gestaltterapie verlore te laat gaan. Deur benutting
van die intervensiemodel is mishandelde laat-adolessente begelei om met die nodige
bewustheid te fokus op dit wat op hul voorgrond is ten einde selfregulering van hul
emosionele belewenis te bereik. Die intervensiemodel is ontwikkel as 'n prototipe
intervensie deur Enright se vergifnis prosesmodel en komponente van sowel die
pastorale basisteorie as die Gestaltterapeutiese proses van die Schoeman-werkmodel
te gebruik.
Die navorsing is vanuit die gemengde kwalitatiewe-kwantitatiewe benadering
onderneem. Die kwalitatiewe benadering het die gebruik van toegepaste intervensie in
'n intervensienavorsingsmodel behels en die kwantitatiewe benadering die meting van
die respondente se ervaring van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis, met behulp van drie
gestandaardiseerde metingskale, voor en na intervensie. Die navorser het die
intervensienavorsingontwerp in 'n meervoudige gevallestudie met vyf respondente
toegepas en 'n enkelsisteemontwerp in die intervensienavorsing gei"nkorporeer. Die
meting van die respondente se ervaring van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis na intervensie,
het bepaal of die veranderinge wat ingetree het, toegeskryf kan word aan hul deelname
aan die intervensieprogram. Na aanleiding van die navorsingsresultate is die
gevolgtrekking gemaak dat die pastorale Gestaltterapeutiese intervensiemodel effektief
gebruik kan word om mishandelde laat-adolessente wat skuld en skaamte ervaar, na vergifnis te begelei. / Social Work / D.Diac. (Play Therapy)

Narrative pastoral therapy : being an Indian pastoral therapist to white counselleesSingh, Laurance 11 1900 (has links)
For over four decades, segregation, as the master narrative in South Africa, favoured the development of whites as mental health workers and empowered them to research and write about the lives of people of colour, thus becoming the experts on their lives. In this project I do something in reverse by being an Indian pastoral therapist to white counsellees. The project describes a postmodern narrative approach and social construction epistemology and the application of these towards culturally sensitive and respectful ways of doing pastoral therapy. Important feedback from white counsellees on race, culture and spirituality enabled me to reflect
on culturally sensitive ways of doing pastoral therapy in a multicultural post Apartheid South Africa. A narrative perspective also provided me with a voice to tell my own story in a way that was healing to me. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th.

Basisteorie vir familiepastoraatVan Heerden, Leon Johan 11 1900 (has links)
Met die oog daarop om 'n basisteorie vir familiepastoraat te ontwerp, word verskeie basisteoretiese konsepte geidentifiseer en bespreek. Dit is veral die relasionele definiering van families - eerder as die tradisionele biologiese definiering - wat van fundamentele belang vir basisteoretiese besinning is. Hierdie 'ekologiese' verstaan van families, sluit familiesisteme van alle vorms in en hou rekening met huidige sosiologiese realiteite sowel as bepaalde teologiese perspektiewe. In aansluiting by die relasionele definiering van families, het familiepastoraat 'n verhoudingsfokus en werk dit met 'n
multidimensionele perspektief wat op al die dinamiese verhoudingsprosesse en -fases binne familiesisteme gerig is. In verbondenheid met die gemeente, benader familiepastoraat families as ekologiese geloofsisteme en funksioneer dit in die lig van die
evangelie asook doelbewus binne koninkrykskonteks. In die slothoofstuk word al die sentrale basisteoretiese konsepte geintegreer tot 'n teoretiese geheel. Die basisteorie vir
familiepastoraat, wat hier ontwerp word, kan kemagtig soos volg geformuleer word: Familiepastoraat is gesprekmatige verhoudingsorg van die ekologiese familie en dit geskied binne koninkrykskonteks. / For the purpose of developing a basic theory for family pastoral work, several basic theoretical concepts are identified and discussed. The defining of families in terms of relations - rather than the traditional biological defining - is of fundamental importance for basic theoretical reflection. This 'ecological' understanding of families includes
families of all shapes and forms, whilst it also reflects sociological realities and it takes into account certain theological perspectives. The aim of family pastoral work is synchronised with the relational defining of families and focus, therefore, on the multiple dynamic relational processes and phases within family systems. For this manifold
relational focus, family pastoral work operates with a multidimensional perspective. The basic theory developed for family pastoral work, can be formulated as follows: Family pastoral work is dialogical care of the relationships of ecological families and it operates within context of the Kingdom. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Th.

Spiritualiteit as perspektief op adolessensie : 'n studie gerig op pastorale beraadGrobler, Leon Pieter 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Adolessensie is die ontwikkelings- en oorgangsperiode tussen kindertyd en volwassenheid. Alhoewel adolessensie 'n bepaalde konflikkarakter het, kan dit nie kategories as 'n storm-en-drang probleemstadium tipeer word nie.
Adolessensie is 'n positiewe stadium wat gekenmerk word deur groei en nuwe uitdagings. Adolessensie word gekenmerk deur ingrypende veranderinge met betrekking tot die terreine van die fisiologies-somatiese, kogni ti ewe, emosionele, identiteit, sosiale, morele en religieuse. 'n Multidimensionele perspektief is dus n vereiste met die oog op n verstaan en definiering van adolessensie. Om hierdie rede kan adolessensie vanuit 'n verskeidenheid van teoriee beskryf word.
Hierdie biologiese, psigoanali tiese, psigososiale, antropologiese en
ekologies-kontekstuele teoriee gee egter geen aandag aan 'n teologiese
orientasie nie. Verder bied nie een van hierdie teoriee 'n perspektief wat
die ontwikkelingsterreine tot 'n eenheid integreer nie. Die gevolg is dat
daar nie 'n kernstruktuur is wat die verskillende ontwikkelingsveranderinge
en ontwikkelingstake kan orden en 'n teologiese betekenis (semantiek)
daaraan kan toeken nie.
Binne die raamwerk van 'n prakties-teologiese orientasie word 'n Christelike
spiritualiteit as teologiese perspektief op adolessensie beskou.
Spiritualiteit is die mens se dinamiese respons op die transendente
werklikheid. Vanuit 'n Bybelse antropologie word die mens beskou as 'n
relasionele wese wat in die teenwoordigheid van God leef (die coram Deo
beginsel). Die mens se totale lewe (ook die adolessent se ontwikkelingsveranderinge) word op God betrek.
Spiritualiteit as semantiese struktuurkern funksioneer as geestelike lens
wat 'n bepaalde fokus op die adolessent se ontwikkeling bied, en wat die
verskillende ontwikkelingsprosesse tot 'n geiintegreerde geheel saamtrek.
Deur spiritualiteit word adolessensie 'reframe' en as transendentteologiese roepingsterrein beskou. Die adolessent word geroep om die Skriftuurlik-evangeliese beginsels te internaliseer met betrekking tot eie ontwikkelingsprosesse.
Die pastorale implikasie is dat die berader die proses waardeur 'n integrasie plaasvind tussen adolessente se spiri tualiteit en hul ontwikkelingsprosesse en probleemhantering, moet fasiliteer. Hierdie dinamika kan optimaal realiseer indien die berader binne die raamwerk van 'n relasie (as ontmoetingsgebeure) orienteer aan 'n epistemologie van deelname. In die beraadproses moet adolessente as verantwoordelike wesens beskou word wat betekenis aan eie ontwikkeling en probleme toeken. Verder moet pastorale beraad ook interdissipliner, ontwikkelingstoepaslik en ekosistemies gerig wees. / Adolescence is the developmental and tccansitional stage between childhood and adulthood. Although adolescence is marked by conflict, it should not be categorised as a problem period. It is a positive stage characterised by growth and challenging new processes.
Adolescence is characterised by radical changes in the physiologicalsomatic, cognitive, emotional, identity, social, moral and religious spheres. A multidimensional perspective is therefore a prerequisite for understanding and defining adolescence. Adolescence can thus be described in terms of a wide range of theories.
These biological, psychoanalytical, psychosocial, anthropological and
ecological-contextual theories devote no attention to a theological
orientation. None of the theories can offer an integrating and unifying
perspective in regard to the developmental areas. The result is a lack of a
centre of structure that has an ordering and theological meaning-qi ving
(semantic) function with reference to the variety of developmental changes and tasks.
Within the framework of a practical-theological orientation, a Christian
spirituality is considered as theological perspective on adolescence.
Spirituality is a person's dynamic response to the transcendent reality. A
Biblical anthropology compels us to view human beings as relational beings who live in the presence of God (the coram Deo principle). Every aspect of a person's life (the adolescent's developmental changes included!) is implicated in this relationship with God.
Spirituality as centre of semantic structure functions as a spiritual lens.
It presents us with a particular focus on the development of the adolescent, and it integrates and unifies the developmental processes. By means of spirituality, adolescence is reframed and viewed as a transcendenttheological vocation. The adolescent is called to internalise the Biblicalevangelical principles with reference to his/her developmental processes.
The pastoral implication is that the counsellor should facilitate the process through which adolescents integrate their spirituality with their
development and management of problems. This dynamics can best be achieved within the framework of a relationship (personal encounter) in which the counsellor functions on the basis of an epistemology of participation. In the counselling process adolescents must be seen as responsible beings who can contribute meaning to their development and problems. Pastoral counselling should also be an interdisciplinary, developmentally appropriate and ecosystemic process. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology)

Pastoral care and counselling of the person in chronic painJacobs, Alvean Illinois 11 1900 (has links)
People expenencmg chronic pain encounter increases m needs and endure the consequences of failure to satisfy needs. In much of the management of people with chronic pain, chronic pain is considered an abstract phenomenon with little attention given to the human experience. Numerous literature focus on a mechanistic reductionistic approach in management of chronic pain.
Most literature is written by medical practitioners, nurses and psychologists from a health-care oriented methodology, whereas minimal research literature was contributed from a pastoral care and counselling perspective. This dissertation explores the needs and feelings of people with chronic pain to identify their needs at the various developmental
stages of their pain experience, and within their relevant ecosystems, in order to develop a pastoral response. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
