| Content |
Academic year 2011-2012 : The course presents different contributions of the psychology to the Churches' life, in their theological reflexions and in concrete pastoral actions. The psychology of human development gives very helpful keys to understand the complex way of living, growing and believing in the postmodern European Christianity. The course will study the most important searchers : Piaget, Kohlberg, Erikson, Fowler and Oser. In the second part of the course, we will explore the key concept of the experience, particularly the religious experience. Then follow a chapter on the practices in the area of counselling. If the time allows it, a third chapter will study the psychological dimension of the sacraments' pastoral.
