Now
As a psychologist practicing psychotherapy since 1964 I have become interested in what helps people become more loving, happy, resilient and tranquil. I believe that the development and strengthening of these attributes are an essential part of the spirtual journey. I have also been interested in what blocks the realization of these qualities in a person's life. One of the challenges in psychotherapy is to help people remove or transcend these blocks. Personally as well as professionally I have become intrigued by how religious and spiritual beliefs and practices can help this journey of healing. My experiences have led me to believe that it is possible to transcend suffering and become one with infinite unconditional love. I believe that a proper understanding of the world's major religious and spiritual traditions can help this journey. Within this context I view the scriptures of these traditions as manuals for psychological and spiritual
development.
I am interested in hearing from you about how your religious and spiritual beliefs and practices have both positively and negatively impacted your ability to experience love, happiness and tranquility-- and also your resiliency when faced with difficulties. I am also interested in interpreting the Bible as a manual for spiritual development. If this interests you please read the volumes of Perennial Psychology of the Bible to be found under "Writings". As this is a work in progress I appreciate any information or helpful comments on these writings. I look forward to hearing from you. You can e-mail me at rich@prpsy.com
