OPPORTUNITIES OF A CHRISTIAN READING AND WRITING THERAPY. GUIDELINES FOR AN EXERCISE OF RECONCILIATION

Summary/Abstract: Opportunities of a Christian Reading and Writing Therapy. Guidelines for an Exercise of Reconciliation. The Second Vatican Council approved the use of sci-entific results in the Church. According to this, the application of writing and read-ing therapy for individual or group counselling, supplemented with pastoral pur-pose is possible.In my point of view, the connection of Christianity to the tradition of texts such as lectio divina, spiritual practice, soliloquia, share many common elements with the techniques of writing and reading therapy. We could use and facilitate the pastoral way of finding God in an enriching and reinforcing way. If we can accom-pany today’s people, or even ourselves, along the path that Christians have followed for thousands of years and continue to follow, then beyond the benefits of therapy, we can make part from a spiritual community. From this point of view, not only has pastoral psychology been enriched by an old-new counselling method, but also, theology, by a particular path of adult catechesis.In the practical part of my study, I selected seven short texts from the Confes-sions of St. Augustine of Hippo for the individual practice of reconciliation.
