- W2599486787 abstract "The person does not to terms with such theoretical problems as determinism, guilt, original sin, materialist monism, conscience, and conversion, Meehl, Klann, Schmieding, Breimeier, and Schroeder-Slomann (1958) contended, even begin to work out a cognitive rapprochement between Christian theology and the secular sciences of behavior (p. 5). In their pioneering efforts to clarify the relationship between psychology and theology, Meehl et al. (1958) challenged readers to tackle vitally important issues, a challenge Christian psychologists only occasionally take up.Because ethics and values in psychotherapy involve the moral dimensions of psychotherapy, the nature of the good and the optimal life for human beings, human sinfulness, our (non-existent? limited? vitally important?) free will, our consciences, God's Law, and God's active, gracious work in transforming persons, Christians need to look unflinchingly at, and come to terms with, a wide range of too-often ignored theoretical issues that raised by psychotherapeutic relationships that may transform persons, not only psychologically, but also morally and spiritually.To ground this discussion of some of those challenging issues, consider this clinical vignette: A depressed, middle-aged woman, Figgie, enters treatment. When she emerges, less depressed, she announces, now know what I need to do: Become selfish. It becomes clear she understands in accord with Miller's (2001) definition: People who are more concerned with their own convenience than with the well-being of others (p. 39). As she interacts with extended family and Black church, she is initially optimistic, but also has a nagging feeling that this new life motto is at odds with deepest spiritual commitments, including commitment to love God and neighbor-as-herself. Although glad she is less depressed, Figgie's family, especially children, and church friends feel like she's changed. And-other than decreased depression-not in a good way. Her best friend tells Figgie's husband, her psychotherapist was trying to make into somebody she's not. Despite trying to live a selfish life, Figgie begins to slide back into depression; friends and family, unfortunately, no longer see psychotherapy as a desirable option. And Figgie begins to be too depressed to care.In this paper, I will assert that psychotherapists routinely address values, including ethical and moral issues, that they sometimes inappropriately convert clients to their own values, that the moral dimensions of psychotherapy range far beyond what can be measured in tests of values, that we cannot pretend therapy to be either value-free or unproblematically value-laden, that these issues need-for Christians-to be wrestled with in theological context, and that, although simple solutions simply wrong, we can make progress at developing appropriately complex and nuanced approaches to the moral dimensions of therapy that effective, respectful of clients, and in harmony with the best Christian traditions.Value Conversion: An Empirically-Documented, Ethically Problematic PhenomenonA common way for research psychologists to address the moral dimensions of human transformation related to psychotherapy is to think in terms of empirically measurable values. in my dissertation i critically reviewed the empirical research literature on therapist influence on quantitatively-measured client values (Tjeltveit, 1984), a literature sparked by Rosenthal's (1955) finding that clients tended-over the course of successful therapy-to adopt their therapists' values. Clients didn't adopt healthy values or the values shared by therapists in general. Rather, each client tended to adopt the values held by his or own therapist. Although this phenomenon is sometimes referred to as convergence, implying that therapist's and client's values both move to some middle ground in a kind of grand value compromise, the data make it clear that the movement is on the part of the client, not the therapist. …" @default.
